Breaking Back, Busting Knees


My knees haven't been feeling any better lately. Actually if you ask me they have been hurting more frequently. I still haven't been diagnosed with anything. At my last physical therapy appointment Jenna (the therapist) had asked me if I have any family history of arthritis. I remember my mom had been diagnosed with arthritis before. Jenna said that she believes that may be the cause of my pain. She thinks that for two reasons: 1. my knees hyper extend by the same amount on each side and 2. The pain hasn’t been going away. My knees are still hurting no matter If I do the exercises at home or do them with Jenna.

We had agreed that it's time for another trip to Strong Hospital. This time I need to get some x-rays and get tested for arthritis to see If there is any other way to get rid of the pain. Being that my senior project is a physical activity it makes it hard to continue on with my project. Even though pain is a obstacle to my senior project, I won't allow that to be the reason why I won't go to practices and continue working out. Since I won't stop training and work I need the pain to go.

Next Steps are those that will lead me to Strong so that I can cure the pain.
