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

Alright unusual question but are you having strange dreams?
- seeing snakes
- people shaped weirdly
- falling from a high place
- someone threatening you in the dream
- someone having sex with you
Anything of that sort? How often?

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

I might be about 195lbs fasted right now. I still RDL, i can do around 365x5 i think. It doesnt bother my knee
Didnt update but i played basketball a few weeks ago and my knee the next day was the worst its been in years. The swelling has now subsided but there is still pain if i kneel on the floor. Usually theres no pain after the swelling subsides. This time there was a considerable amount. In other words, im regressing
On a plane right now headed towards macedonia again. First time in about 5 years. Looking to get an MRI there since itll be much cheaper than USA. Maybe i should see a PT there as well now that i think about it
At this rate i’ll never dunk again. But if i can heal my knees, im probably 6mo away from dunking

Playing bball does irritate it, i can only play 1-2 times per week and they get sore. But i definitely cant jump
The issue is i cant tell how bad my knees will feel until the next day. So if i play around with jumping mechanics i might be wrecking myself and not know until the next day lol
I did go to a chiropractor a year ago (in addition to the physical therapist years ago) and he tested my patellar tracking i believe. His tests didnt cause any pain. He basically concluded i was getting old… yeah i didnt go back to him
I need an MRI and to find some more specialists

« on: August 08, 2023, 07:09:26 am »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
