| My son is a runner who got injured prior to senior year in high school, went through a couple surgeries and is still not running (end of soph year in college). He was a college running recruit and hasn't run a step for his school. It has been devastating. I know what you and your son are going through. We have not given up hope. I would do everything to find the right doctor. Post on running forums, ask at running stores etc. We finally got to the right guy. I want to emphasize that the prior docs, ART practitioners, PTs etc were excellent, but you want that person who can really get at the root of your son's injury. It might take MRIs, CT scans and more, but there IS a correct diagnosis. I don't know where you live, but we spanned several states dealing with S's injury. Ironically, we found the current doc as a result of me breaking my knee (tibial plateau fracture) last February skiing. I came home and landed right in the office of the most incredible orhopedic surgeon I could have asked for. I flew son back home from college as soon as I could. Please keep me posted. I am a runner myself, and can relate. |
