Question:
First of all, i play football, it is my life, and i'm not being drematic. About 3 months ago, i had noticed a weekness in my knee, but decided it was nothing out of the ordinary for me, so i just went on, planning to go to a doctor. Then a few days later, we were doing agility drills, and hit and rolls. I hit, i rolled i hit i rolled i hit i rolled my knee. This was nothing out of the ordinary either, i have dislocated my knee cap before, and that's what it felt like. This time i went straight to a specialist. He said it could possibly have to do with a miss fire in my quad which means that my quad just wont move because the ligiments ataced to it wont respond. I got an MRI, and it showed no ters, but now they suspect nerve damage. now i can either keep going knowing that it will give out eventualy, or miss the season. It's a well known fact that the only thing the doctors are willing to do in my situation is rehab, but it will never be better, atleast not %100.
Answers:
Go to acupuncture... it works whether you "believe" in it or not. Go straight to acupuncture. Give it at least 6 weeks and if no improvement, then OK, I'm wrong. But with 2-3 treatments per week, you will at least find out if "your body can heal itself' or not.
I got started going to acupuncture 20 years ago because the medical doctors couldn't help my neck pain.
I can understand wanting to do something no matter what the cost. I recommend you see a chiropractor as they are very good at treating sports injuries. Give this a try.
