Last spring my back and right knee were in a great deal of pain. I went to physio all year and couldn't fix them (and yoga, and an athletic therapist and weight training and anything else you could ever imagine).
I went to physiotherapist #3 starting in January of this year. I made a comeback to soccer slow and steady after several months and things were looking great until my knee and back buckled again in March.
I rehabbed again at physio and finally got back to close to 100% about a month ago as I was able to run and play soccer pain free. I was overjoyed. And then, this week, my knee pain has returned again out of nowhere.
Physical fitness is my lifeline. I don't have a family or many artistic interests. I'd play on 3 soccer teams if I could. I love running, biking, and doing any physical activities I can.
After several failed rehabilitations where I have been cautious and methodical with lots of time off and following rehab plans to a T (never missing a day of doing my exercises and mobility training) I'm crushed that I may have to accept this is just the way it is now at age 42.
Going for runs the last few week made me so happy and I didn't take it for granted.
I went to a CT scan last year and it didn't detect anything. It may just be wear and tear at this point.
