Still around

Nobody can figure out my knee pain

5 physical therapists
5 chiropractors
1 hijamah expert
1 biomechanics expert
1 massage therapist
1 accupuncturist

Crazy stuff

Reading through my old posts and i miss being so strong and cut. I can still squat but not jump much else my knees act up. My dunking days are over unless someone can figure this out

Currently getting back to being serious in the gym. I barely made any net progress in like 7 years

Need to cut a bit. Im doing some bodybuilding style stuff now (which i should be primed for after doing strength training for like a decade!) maybe for a year before going back to strength training

Training via mike mentzer’s principles right now (1 set to absolute failure) and loving it

Need to start logging my workouts again!

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
