But I have chronic tendinitis in my knees. Have had it as long as I could remember.... it sucks, and the more you pound on them, the worse it is. I got to the point where I thought I might have some type of arthritis.<div>
</div><div>It was bad in HS I thought, but I didn't know bad until I played sports in JUCO. Could barely get up in the morning to walk to class, and it wasn't a long walk. The first year wasn't that bad, but the second was pretty miserable. Cortisone shots didn't help, pills were a joke, so about the only comfort I could find was having some whiskey after games so I couldn't feel it as much. My roommates told me they could hear me groaning in my sleep when I'd turn over or whatever.</div><div>
</div><div>I think I'm pretty tough, and I am, but that's also the attitude that put me in the position I was in. I don't know how bad his case is, but I played a sport where I didn't have to jump a whole lot... thankfully, because jumping kills me. I don't do it today if it's not life or death.</div><div>
</div><div>If that's what he really has, then I'm not surprised if he's sitting this many games out at all, and I feel bad for him. It's a luxury that they have the depth to do that for him. Hopefully if he does have it, it's not close to where mine was- my knees aren't very well structured, so that's my problem.</div>
