Okay, No offense to the ol' doctor method, but sometimes "rest it" is what they say when they don't know what to do. I mean, I had tendonitus in my Left knee when I was like 13. I am a very very busy athlete, and can't afford rest. He told me to rest it, my Dad and I disagreed. I went on a kept playing on it, and it was fine... I mean, SOMETIMES I can feel it when the weather's changing, but yeah... If it hurt, I just iced it a lot after games. IBprophen usually works.
I'm not saying Doctor's aren't smart, because they definitely are.. I just hate the ol' "rest it" response... Because that never works for me, trust me, I've tried...
