I’ve had my fair share of injuries, trauma and non-traumatic based. I’ve had what most would call IT Band Pain, Lateral Meniscus tear, Compression Fracture of the lateral tibial plateau. I’ve been frustrated just like you, my knee injuries limited my baseball, lifting and running.
Some treatments I used are:
- Physical Therapy
- Synvisc Injection
- Cortisone Injection
- Rest
- Ice
- H-Wave
- Active Release
- Rocktape
And much much more.
I had some ups and downs but what I found the hardest part of the injury to control was the swelling. The swelling was enough to make me feel like I had a ziplock bag in my knee. I thought about it as I walked, squatted and fell asleep. How did I get over these knee woes? Listen to the podcast and you’ll see...
Quotes:
“ Knee injuries, unless from trauma, are not found in isolation.”
“It felt like an ice pick stabbing my knee..”
“I think stiffness around around the knee was helpful to stabilize the knee.”
