Yes, iamelgringo's reaction does seem irrational but I can relate.
I've been dealing w/ a knee injury for a year+ and recently decided to bite the bullet (it's expensive!) and have it checked out. (Being an bootstrapping entrepreneur tends to have the side effect of having less-than-comprehensive health insurance) When the results of the MRI and X-Ray came in I found myself rather disappointed that there were no tears or fractures. I guess I just wanted a definite answer to why my knee was messed up so I could put a rehab plan into place and get back into running and mixed martial arts. Hearing "Don't know what's wrong. Rest it" was rather frustrating.
- run4yourlives 18y agoHaving seen tons of knee injuries from my army days, I would only say this: Don't get surgery.
- jadence 18y agoNot that I'm planning on getting knee surgery (more rehab . . . sigh) but I'm intrigued. Care you expand on that?
- run4yourlives 18y agoWell, fully anecdotal here, but every guy I know (at least 10) that got knee surgery to "correct" a problem continued to have the same problems. It seems to me that most of them regarded this as simply a stop gap or "treatment" and not a cure. Those that thought they would not have any more issues with their knees were not happy. Many who got it earlier on suggested that they would have chosen to go as long as possible without the post surgery rehab if they could. I've been fortunate enough not to have any knee or foot issues myself, so I'm certainly not claiming to be an authority here.
