battle of the wounded knee

Post by Dr. Jones »

just read this article about tuan vu and his never ending injury story and was just wondering, if i`m the only player around, who`s got the same problems...
my knees seem to suffer really hard from shredding!
this year i couldn`t participate at 2 tournaments i went to, cause of my fucked up knees!!!

i just started some kind of therapy involving electroshocks/microwaves!
(still don`t really know, what they`re exactly doing with my knee...)
hopefully it will work...

magnets do not work at all! I've taken one of these magnets and held a paperclip up with it, then, putting a peice of paper between the magnet and the paper clip and it couldn't even hold it up, how is it supposed to help anything past the VERY first layer of skin?

oh yeah, forgot to say that the thing for arthris, as far as i know is like a bracelet that's made of copper, and has had an electrical current run through it. My grandpa uses one. Could be like the magnets and be pretty much a placebo though....

But it's ok because they're "scientific." Geez. I'll take homeopathy over science any day.
i like to kick the little footbag thing around and move my legs around it and stuff

Hey Brian,
What kind of exercises do you do for your legs? I am keen to try some of that, did it take long to notice a difference? I need to fix my legs as kicking once a week is all I can handle at the moment and even then I am whinging for the rest of the week. This means my game progress's at turtle pace, any else have this, or know how to deal with it?
