I think I may need physical therapy on this knee after all. It hasn't really been improving for the past 3 days, which worries me. I'm usually incredibly active, which also worries me. I want my knee to be good enough to play Softball in the Spring and keep doing kung-fu.
After talking to some colleagues on lab, one who is former gymnast (and therefore very sensitive about joint injuries) and another who is former physical therapist, they're suggesting to me that I try to get some physical therapy for me knee ASAP. It'll ensure that my knee heals the right way so I won't need surgery or get injured again in the future. *sigh* Because my progress these past couple of days has only been minimal, I think the stupid sports medicine doctor at Utah wasn't thorough enough, and it's possible that I may have more damage on my knee than I originally thought. It may be time for an MRI and weeks of physical therapy. ;___; *sigh* The neverending saga of knee injuries.
