| DFP go see a sports specialist, not some general practioner. GP's may or may not know the specific needs of an athlete or how to treat someone who must continue training at some level. Orthopedic Doc's can make orthodics and other aids to adjust your stride etc so you don't injure weak bits, and move correctly. Paying attention to the little twinges now, can save you from knee surgery in the future. Just because the pain "goes away" does not mean you are no longer damaging yourself. | |

| I believe amputation is called for in this instance. Preferably with a rusty chain saw. Will be glad to help

LOL, that would slow me down, but I've seen another good fencer kick *** on one leg.

I'm going to have to agree with the sports doctor suggestions. I don't care for going to the doctor myself, but the people in my club have ways of forcing one to go...  | |

I've had this problem before, and it went away with time, but came back, and the stupid doctor didnt have any idea what it was. | That's what your family doctor will do. Find someone who usually works with athletes. | |

| If all you were hearing was popping, without pain, then there would probably not be a problem - joints just sometimes do that - I have a noisy scapula or something that makes very loud noises, but it causes no pain and the doctors have given it the okay. When it's coupled with pain that's usually a sign that something's wrong - pain and popping could be a tear in the cartilege or something similar which you'd probably want to get cleaned up now before it gets worse, which is why it's important to see a doctor.
It seems like a low-impact strengthening regimen might work to alleviate any problems, which is what I've done in the past when i've had knee problems (after consulting w/ a doctor or trainer), but it's best to get it checked out in case they want to order further tests (MRI or something) if they see something clinically that raises alarm bells. Also, they can (sports dr/trainer/physical therapist) provide you with a low impact regimen to follow if that's the course of action they think is best - like everybody else said, get a professional opinion. No matter what, when you start to feel twinges and pain, it's time to back off a bit and figure out what's causing it, and a little time now can save a year off or permanent retirement later. | |
