I am 16 years old and played soccer this year for my high school. At the beginning of the season, I developed a minor pain in my right knee, on the inside and in the middle. It was only enough to be somewhat bothering to me, and after warming up for about 15 minutes,the pain would disappear. I began noticing pain 4 months ago, and about 3 months ago, the pain was too bad that it wouldn’t go away after warming up, and was too painful to run on. I haven’t run on it since, been icing it, doing physical therapy exercises, and also riding a stationary bike(on lowest gear) almost every day. I have seen 3 doctors, two of which told me something that the specialist ruled out. I have been wearing superfeet in my shoes, and that cut the pain down to start, but after about a month of that, it hasn’t become any better. It isn’t as bad as it was before, although it is still painful enough to keep me from running.
I have barely any clue what it could be, because my doctors keep contradicting each other, and I would really enjoy being able to run again.
I am going to see the specialist again soon. Should I request a MRI or X-ray? They seem to be against it for some reason…

I want to go to physical therapy school and I need to know if these two courses are required for ALL physical therapy schools. I checked some schools out online and they all have different requirements and I’m confused which course to take. So I need to know if PT schools put more emphasis on exercise science or exercise physiology.
One of the first thearapies that I had for pain was physical therapy. Work hardening therapy was miraculious. Each time I went for therapy, a short time later, I would move the wrong way and another part of my body was injured. Eventually, I quit trying therapy. For all who say exercise and threapy are the answer, you are extremely wrong. It has been proven that exercise is not for all diseases and does make some people’s diseases worsen.
Can I Be A Physical Therapy Assistant With My Bachelors In Exercise Science And Rehab (kines)?
Dec 24
Like the title says, I will be graduating with my bachelors on track to become a PT if I continued to grad school. However I am thinking about becoming a Physician Assistant or do nursing instead. What would I need to do to become a PTA after my bachelors?
I have been in physical therapy for a month in regards to lower back pain. I really miss being in my old exercise routine and am eager to go back. How do you know when your body is ready to return to exercise? Is there a way to tell if it’s too soon? I’m pretty concerned about reinjuring myself, so I am trying to be smart about that. Any thoughts would be appreciated :c) Thanks!
I have Hyper Mobility Syndrome, but more concerning to this question, chondromalacia patella. I do daily exercises for physical therapy, including AROM knee fix uni-standing (I stand straight and bend my leg toward my hip). Everytime I bend my, knee pops…is there anyway to fix.stop the popping, it’s really uncomfortable.
