It was two years ago, when I overused my knee due to netball training. Like running up the staircase, jumping and running. The pain was mild but it gotten worse after weeks when I neglected my knee injury.
The excruciating pain on my knee was unbearable and I had to wear a knee guard.
I seeked treatment from a chinese osteopath because my family was complaining that I was limping most of the time.
After the treatment, my knee was pale-red for more than a week.
The condition of my knee eventually improved and I didnt have any problems with my knee anymore.
It does hurt occassionally nowadays when the weather is cold, but the pain is still manageable, I guess.
Most of the time I will neglect the pain and wait till it gets better.
Unless the injury is serious, I might seek help from the doctors, probably the osteopath because it's said that osteopathy works better on bone or muscle injury.
Alternative medicine is commonly used now becos countries have become more westernized, and western people only believe in Science. Therefore, more people have more faith in alternative medicine.
