Intense knee pain and support seeking

Edit Post

Even veterans have only experienced LL in their own specific set of circumstances, such as only doing external tibias. Not to mention many don't stick around.

For serious questions like this I think it's fine to ask the community, but I wouldn't decide on anything based on the answers. If the patient believes that the doctor is stumped or incompetent, get a second opinion from a local orthopedic doctor while also asking other LL doctors.


Edit: changed "clueless" to "stumped," as the latter better conveys that the doctor has exhausted his options. Didn't mean to imply that they were unknowledgeable.

The doctor is quite experienced, but he hadn't found a similar case until now. Other patients who are in touch with many veterans reported that they aren't familiar with that kind of pain either. We wanted to know if someone here had experienced that type of pain and if it finally subsided and how, as the patient suffering from this is quite stressed. It would be a relief for them.
