For those who know me for more than 6 months, you have seen a trend of injuries throughout my life. I will be first to admit that I do not take very good care of my body, but I like to think that I am getting better and because i am only 27 I think I can turn it around.
Anyone who has seen me in the last two months knows that I am rehabbing a knee injury (patellar tendinitis). I was doing PT twice a week with the hope that I might play, even sparingly at Vegas in a little over a week. Well as of yesterday afternoon I took a step backward in recovery and this morning my physical therapist put to light my fear that I will be flying to Vegas but unable to play without possibly damaging my body further. I had hope till today.
The most frustrating thing is that I have had pain everyday for almost 2 months now. Lower back pain, knee pain, quad pain. I've tried muscle relaxers, Vitamin I (ibuprofen), vicodin, ice, chiropractic care, and PT and I still take 2 steps forward and 1 step back. My wife has to be the strongest person ever as she has dealt with consistant elbow and thumb tendinitis for over 2 years now, including having surgery. I am miserable after 2 months and I cannot see how she has persevered through her pain. It must be frustrating.
