Case Summary | Knee Injury
| Condition | Knee Pain |
| Case Description | I had noticed a problem earlier in my life with my knee but had ignored the issue. Later during a warm up run the pain became unbearable and I had to get my knee tested. At the point nothing was found but the injury resurfaced during high school and I could no longer move with the same ease. Through physical therapy and recommendations from my doctor I was able to find ways to deal with pain in my knee that resulted from training incorrectly in sports. I had participated in several sports requiring extreme pressure on my knees and had worn them out much faster than expected for my age. This is the current treatment I am on as the pain will consist and can only manage it. |
