After all the stress from not knowing what's been wrong with my knees I finally got an answer. Early this Tuesday morning I was diagnosed with patellar tenderosis. This means that I have inflammation in my knees, I believe it's in the part that connects to my tender. Right under my knee cap, in the front. I guess this is supposed to explain all the pain I've been feeling over the last 4-5 months.
The first doctor that came in was a lady. She said that kicking is one of the things that makes it worse. How ironic. I have been trying to make my knee feel better but yet the only thing I have been doing the whole time is making it worse. When the second doctor (a guy) came in to the room he told me that I shouldn't do martial arts for now. He recommended that I don't do any activities that involves my legs, especially because in martial arts we kick a lot. What a bummer.
Extreme conditions cause for extreme measures. So as of now I have to contact all of my members and make a senior meeting because we have to figure out what to do next. Lord knows if there is anything I experienced in life I have grown to love martial arts almost as much as football. I don't like it to the part where I want to watch is all the time but I definitely love to go to practice and put my all into. The thing that makes it worth it is the feeling afterwards. Learning more about myself and figuring out that I have new measures that I can reach within myself. Learning about myself can be more valuable than learning anything else.
