I WAS 14, PLAYING DDODGEBALL AT CHURCH. I TOOK A STEP FORWARD AND MY KNEE SHATTERED. THE SWELLING AND DISCOLORATION NEVER WENT AWAY AND MY KNEE HAD TO BE DRAINED AND I HAD TO HAVE CLEARANCE FROM A NEUROLOGIST FOR THE EXTREME PAIN AND INABILITY TO SLEEP AND MEMORY LOSS BEFORE ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY WOULD BE PERFORMED. AFTER SURGERY AND MUCH THERAPY, MY INJURY WOULDN'T IMPROVE. I HAD NO CARTILAGE IN MY KNEE SO THE SURGEON DID HIS BEST. IT WAS 9 MONTHS BEFORE I WAS DIAGNOSED. I WAS TREATED AT BOSTON CHILDREN'S PPRC AND CONTINUED WITH THERAPIES FOR 3-4 DAYS A WEEK. I HAVE POTS, NEUROPATHY AND PATELLA FEMORAL SYNDROME AMONG OTHER DIAGNOSIS.
