Made some changes to my golf swing and noticed I started having some really strange knee pain

Found my left ankle & foot abnormally stiff so did some targeted mobility drills last night and noticeably better today

Will have to stay on top of them but anticipate knee pain resolving soon

Stiff foot/ankle must have led knee to be taking bit more force than it should have

May seem like a rather simple solution - but imagine: A normal person might not reason the same way and could end up dealing with pain for 5+ weeks. Even schedules a doc appt, get mri/xray, and then have to consider injections or even a surgery

When in reality all they needed was a good musculoskeletal assessment from a sports med professional and some targeted holistic physical interventions

If you don’t think it’s worth $500-$800 to fix your problem quickly through independent practitioners… well, good luck in the traditional medical system

Turns out I swung and missed on this one 

Problem was getting worse so saw my PT today

Dealing with a meniscus problem now

Unclear if there’s structural damage 

But turns out the restriction was actually at the hip. So need to clear that up first

She thinks the mensiscus sensitivity will subside if I get the ROM and movement patterns better in my hip

I’m already scheduled to play on Sunday so gonna do that and then probably take some time off

Injuries just ain’t worth it
