I may have figured out the last piece of the puzzle to my knee pain. I need to stretch my tibs!!!

He also gave me pregabalin, a medicine for chronic pain, to take for 2 weeks or so - maybe my body will "forget" that pain "needs" to be there. I will try.

My fear here is that you may be putting yourself in positions or movements that make the problem worse except you wont stop since you might not feel it due to the painkiller. The concept of “forgetting” the pain does sound interesting though. I dont know anything about it, would be curious to read up on it

+1 on swimming

+1 on doctors not making sense and/or not truly listening to the patients.  My wife went through crazy stuff in labor due to the doctors and nurses “following the book.” We were very happy we hired a doula to push back on them. Thats a wholeeee other topic

Shoot man. If you ever end up traveling to neighboring countries maybe check out a doc over there?

Different types. Chiro, PT, even an acupuncturist. Anything. This sounds like it can pktentially be very serious

Yeah man we’ve been through lots of life changes on this forum. I wonder how ChrisM is

shoot man this man hasn't been online in years

Man i literally thought you might have died!

Welcome back!

monday - game was okay. lost by about 15. I dropped 16. My team doesn't utilize me enough. i'm definitely more efficient than the other players. I got off to a hot start. i was ehh for the rest of the game though. a few missed open layups where i blew past defenders and dodged one in the air with a pump fake.

before the game i landed my first ever RLR dunk! It's freakin awkward jumping that way, but i had a feeling i would be able to do it. i definitely have to practice it more. i can get way more distance on my dunks verses LRR this way. somehow its tougher to palm the ball RLR for me.

tuesday - didn't lift in the AM like i wanted to. was way too tired in the morning. went back to bed and then woke up for work. my left knee is pretty swollen. this happend after last game too... no way i can squat like this. its not painful at all! it just has water in it or something.

Went back to my log to track down where my knee issue started. 7 years ago! It still sucks and i can barely touch rim now. Stretching rectus femoris helps a lot but if i play bball i cant try touching rim. It wrecks me. I can play 1-2 days a week if i avoid near max effort jumps

Man I dont know if ill ever dunk again. That was my recent goal. My knee felt great the other day so i decided to touch rim a few times and now its so swollen ill probably not play ball for a few weeks. That made me think i cant dunk ever again unless i seriously figure something out

On another note: did not know i was able to dunk RL in the past

My squats at about 225x7 right now. RDL 275x6. Cutting some weight, then want to add serious strength 

Oh yeah my wife’s pregnant with our first

Hope everyones doing well
