The Adventures of "Smart Ash"
Just me and my occasional ramblings!

Friday, December 15, 2006
Today was my last day of physical therapy. And, basically, we didn't really get anywhere. None of the PT has helped, in fact most has made it worst. Knowone seems to know what the heck is wrong with my knee.... Soooo, I go back to see my ortho on Tuesday.... and we will go from there.... and well, there really are not any more options for me...

However, I was, today, *diagnosed* with HMD, aka Hyper Mobility Disorder. There are a total of 10 points you are tested on and anything above 5 is considered testing positive. I got, technically, 8 of the 10 points, but 2 are questionable. Nonetheless, -2 is still 6 and is still positive. Great...

Basically, there is no cure or real help for this... and I am basically 'benched' for life... at least, if I don't want to have pain. However, my PT did say she'd like to see me working with athletes with the same problem. It's not a highly known disorder and so she said that athletes that do have it are never typically diagnosed and spend their whole athletic careers in pain.



Finals are almost over.... yay!


All for now....

I believe I would find a non-athletic career. :)
