Good afternoon Marines,
about 2 weeks ago i hurt something around my knee during a 3mile run, the first 2 miles were no problem but after that, the lateral side of my knee just started to give me problem as far as every time i would push of the ground i would feel pain, after a few more minutes i just had to run with a locked out leg because every little movement would give me problems.
After that i figured it was a muscle strain or something, because when i stretched, the pain wasnt as bad, so I went to a massage therapist and she worked on my leg, the pain was gone, at least i thought, on my next run..not even after half a mile it was hurting again...i have been seeing a chiropractor 3 times now..i just dont know what to do.... its so frustrating.
My Head tells me to not worry about it and just goahead and shipout....But i do know i need to push my shipdate back, i just dont want to have it true, i have worked so hard to get to the point where i am at right now, i just want to be a Marine.
I guess what im asking here is what would you guys Marines (the Marines here have EARNED the title.....how about addressing the Marines who are going to answer your questions as Marines, not guys) do? Go get an MRI done? get completely healed before i shipout? I really dont know. where to go from this point.
