My injury

I went to see another doctor AGAIN. Since August of 2009, I have tried different ways and visited doctors but now, I still don't really know what is wrong with my knee. The advices are vary with the doctors. I don't know which is the correct one. It is already 2 years and 4 months since I got injured.

Once I got hurt, I went to see the bone specialist which is near Titiwangsa. The doctor asked me to take an X-ray on my knee. According to the X-ray, he said there is nothing wrong with my knee and he just asked me to take the tablets, which I think is useless.

After trying the western method, I went for tit da. The sifu said, since it is an open wound, he can't do anything on it, so he just did some massages around my injury but he couldn't find out the cause too. Even I went for acupuncture, the doctor told me the same words. The only thing that I can do was wait for the wound to recover.

It was really really painful at the midnight. I just slightly moved my leg and the pain was like killing me, it was horrible! Somehow, I still have to finish my competition, which is believed the main cause of making my injury unrecovered. Eventually, I got nothing from the competition. Oh ya, yes, there was, it was disappointment.

After the competition, I went to see other tit da sifus. They did everything they could but I didn't see any results. Of course, I also went for acupuncture twice per week and I took medicine every single day but I hardly saw any improvement so I started to give up on it. From the review I'm having now, I found that, it did have improvement, but I was the one who made it disappeared. I was the one who kept jumping and running around without having any rest for the knee. I went back to Chong Hwa too often for the whole year. Anyway, regret is just meaningless now.

Then, for the next year which is 2011, my dad brought me to see another specialist on the forth day of Chinese New Year and the doctor asked me to take MRI beside Kepong Carrefour. I did and the report stated that my ACL was partially torn. Since there was a proof, I was so believed in it. The doctor's advice was, I should have the operation to make my knee recovered as what other athletes did. However, my parents objected with the advice. They think there must be ways to heal my knee other than having operation and so, they kept asking me to continue my acupuncture. Although I was disagree with them, I still did what they have requested, went for acupuncture and had the medicine everyday.

Few days later, we went to Tung Shin Hospital for seeking other ways. The doctor said, there was a chance to get my ligament recovered with doing some therapies. He taught me some exercises and asked me to do it on my own. Hello! Please, there should be someone monitoring me when I'm doing those exercises. Once I did wrongly, it might cause the injury to become worsen, isn't it?

So, I was thinking to look for a personal trainer, which I'm having now in True Fitness. I can really feel that my body becomes more balance than before, and my legs are now stronger than last time. I can see the results. However, the pain is still there, I can always feel it when I was doing exercises on legs. Once I felt painful, my trainer will immediately stop me from the training but we couldn't figure out the main reason because according to the report, the painful part should be the front part but not at the side which I felt painful recently. My trainer has a client who has just done his operation on his knee. He gave me all the details about the Sport Medicine Centre and I went there today.

The doctor did some tests on my knee as what other doctors did last time and this really make me suffering now. I can't point the specific uncomfortable part out, it is the inner part which makes me awkward. He said, my ACL is supposed to be in a good condition according to his test. So, I was asked to take a new MRI. From the new MRI, there is really nothing wrong with my ACL, there are problems on other parts which cause the discomfort but he couldn't exactly tell me what is wrong and so, he asked me to have the physiotherapy for 3 weeks and then only he could be more confirmed with the reason. I'll have to do operation only if any of my ligaments is torn, which I don't hope so because I'll have to give up for learning french in France as it needs months to get recovered from the operation.
