Knee Trouble

[Jim Bob]

Get an MRI......then go to a reputable physio and he/she will read the report and do what's best for you......

I developed a knee problem last summer. Went to the doctor who recommended exercises. No good then to a local physio who was shite. Guy involved in County GAA told me to have  private MRI and bring results to a physio he recommended highly. Back running after 3 sessions with him

If I do a bit of running or play a bit of football, after a while I get a sharp pain in my knee.  A real shap jolting pain.

Rest seems to be the only thing to help it.

How much is a MRI scan?

Depends where you go. The last one I paid for was in Limavady and cost £300.

Had to get my cruciate done for a 3rd time there recently and went through the NHS this time as I haven't played in 5 years. Got the MRI privately then took 6 months to see the consultant. He told me his waiting list was 22 months (Mr Connolly).

By some stroke of luck I got a letter saying I'd been referred to the Sports Surgery clinic in Dublin and had it all wrapped up in 3 months then!!

I'd imagine it was some kind of EU thing I'd ask your GP about it as I think NI still being in the EU allows you to go down South and get sorted much more quickly!!

It's free if your GP refers you. He should know which trust has the shortest waiting list too.

Some man for one man. Must be worth a clean fortune

I'm assuming you do a slight warm up etc?

Do you normally 'train'?

A lot of knee issues can be fixed by simple foam rolling the hamstrings, IT Band, inner thigh (just above the knee in particular) and of course you @ss which is the largest muscle in the body. Everyone has an enormous amount of tension in their body - sometimes the knees pay the price. It's not pleasant to begin, but if you keep at it you'll see a difference I'm sure.
