Geez this needs a whole new thread.
After I tore my hamstring in half, I was told by my family doc I had badly sprained my knee???
Well at the time I was studying to be a nutritional consultant practitioner and knew something was very wrong( black and blue from hip to foot and foot literally fused to my a** lol)
I wasnt 100% sure what was wrong but I knew it was either my hamstring or I had badly torn a muscle, and would require surgery.
My doc said no, so I fired him. It took one month to get another doctor and by then my leg has fused, maybe 10% mobility.
As soon as I seen my new doc he said oh my you need surgery asap! Lol no crap.
So all being said and done, after surgery that injury took two years of insane physio to recover from. Im talking full time job physio, as it had now effected my hip and lower back.
What a pita
