Some of y'all are aware I broke my ankle kind bad (plate and screws, detached ligament, etc.) a couple years ago and was on crutches for ~4 months.
Since then I've had pain in my opposite knee, although for a good while it didn't ever bother me that much and only flared up sometimes, like when I'd run out of a trick and land hard on my right leg, but it'd be back to normal in a day tops. Over time though, it's gotten worse and eventually it got to the point where I'd wear a knee brace every time I go skate, and now I just wear it every day regardless because it hurts at least a little bit 90% of the time. Talked to one of my skate friends and went back n forth with Tay in the DMs for a bit about it, and I'm almost certain it's tendonitis.
Have any of you guys had similar experiences after lengthier stints on crutches or deal with knee tendonitis in general? Shit's got me bummed out and it's pretty backasswards that my (previously) healthy knee is giving me more problems than my ankle that I focused, especially since I'm still young as fuck. Haven't seen a doctor about it yet, half because I live in the States and it's potentially expensive as hell and half because I'm a lazy shit, but that's probably the next step to be taking instead of looking to SLAPCare, right?
Sorry if I sound like a broken record, I know I've brought this up in a couple other threads, just thought it might be beneficial to give this one it's own. I'd like to skate for as long as I can and figured skating on a bad knee for two years isn't helping.
