I was in toronto this past weekend visiting some realitives. They recommened that i go their chinese massage therapist that they use. They have great results from this guy so i decided that i could give it a shot. After 15mins of massage and some sort of herbal medical wrap...its noticeable worse. Before it wasnt painful walking..just a bit when walking up and down stairs. Now its painfult whenever i move it. Jesus crist..this guy screwed it up even more. Its even tender to the touch, it wasnt like that before. Im hoping that it will go away in a few days. Finally got back to the gym today just lifting weights...but i miss running and biking for cardio.

Reminds me of a time when my friend slid down a slide at the disco (no, I'm not in europe, I'm just that old) that emptied onto the lighted dance floor. He twisted his knee and thought it would be a good idea if I tugged and yanked on it to get it to "pop" back into place.

Well, two surgeries later it got much better.

The moral of the story....I hope he did'nt screw it up more. I'd have a doctor look at it again if it does not improve in a couple days.

Good luck,

Try rest, ice, elevation and advil. See a "real" doctor. Good luck.
