Knee injury


Question Posted Sunday October 12 2008, 4:54 pm

Hi i'm a seventeen your old girl and I have had pain in the outside of my side and towards the back. It especially hurts when I start sprinting or doing anything that really involve pulling it up. I have been playing fastpitch softball for the past two months and it just started hurting this month, but I don't recall anything major ever happening to it. Do you know what could be the problem and if it is serious enough to go to the doctor?

It could be ITBS but you do need to get
with a doctor to be sure. It could be
something else. Since you need your knees
to work properly, you don't want to take
a chance with them. :)

Some information on ITBS:

THis exact thing happened to me, except I run. If the pain is so unbearable that you actually need to go out of your way to sit, lay down etc. just so you can let the pain stop then you should go to the doctor. When I went to get my x-rays they said nothing is wrong and it's just growing pains. But I only get them when I exercise! So, be aware that you may not get the answer you want. But, you should go to the doctor just to make sure nothing serious is actually wrong. You might have tendinitous or however you spell it.

Good luck
