Hello
I've been suffering from knee injury since the 2nd month of
enlistment till now, which is roughly 3+ months. Went to the mo
regarding the pain as it has gotten more severe, to which his reply
was 'its normal', and gave me muscle relaxants and pain
killers(they give it for almost everything._.)
Recently went to a sports specialist at CGH and was diagnosed
with pantellarfemoral pain syndrom/ illiotibial band syndrome.
Which is essentially Runner's knee and isn't really
down-gradable... However, the specialist explained to me my injury
and whats the cause. Apparently it isn't to overuse which results
in worn out cartilage.
The pain is due to my knee being mis-aligned causing pressure on
the muscle resulting in the illiotibial band syndrome, ie pain at
the side of my knee.I have x-rays to document the mis-alignement,
however it wasn't explained to me the severity of the
mis-alignemnt. I've been recommended to go for physio and insole
fitting.
Most importantly, is my case down-gradable since its a bone
being mis-aligned rather than wear and tear? The MO told me
currently without the memmo or xrays, at most i'll be temporarily
down pes, imo which isn't going to solve the issue.
THANK YOU in advance! I don't know where else to get opinions.
