My knee!!

"Your knee is the largest joint in the body and one of the most complex, thus making it more vulnerable to injury.". Last year more than 600,000 Americans had knee surgery last year more than half where sports related. The first game of the year last year I caught a pass and took a hard hit to the knee. After being checked by the trainers they said i was "good to go" the next game did the same thing but this time i wasn't even able to make it off the field alone. All through the season I was on the sidelines because of my inability to run at full speed. The school doctor/trainer was more worried about sprained ankles than checking my knee. Last week was my first time seeing a doctor and he immediately said that my knee was seriously injured and that surgery was a possible need. luckily they developed a new medicine that heals it to where it reduces the possibility of surgery.If people would just make every thing a priority than just the easy stuff stupid occurrences such as mine could be prevented.The article by the AAOS tells how clearly if precautions and immediate actions are taken that half of the sports injuries could be prevented. some injuries are so server that people aren't able to walk with out assistance or even walk at all.
