Pointing at where it hurts is not enough to make a diagnosis 😫
And this graphic is in no way diagnostic ❌

But when you present in clinic with Knee Pain, these are *some* of the things that go through my head.

NoT aLl KnEe PaIn Is ArThRiTiS.

This list is in no way conclusive, and there is far more at play which could contribute to calf pain. Injury history, training history, training load, Intrinsic factors are all important.

But it is always worthwhile seeking help from someone who a) considers these things when assessing, and b) knows how to differentiate.

Of course joint replacements don't naturally sit on anyone's Wishlist.

However, there sometimes comes a time where we have to weigh up these big decisions against quality of life *today*.

When joints are at a stage where they are having a hugely negative impact on life, and when all other avenues have been exhausted, joint replacements become very valid options, and can improve quality of life greatly.

And gone are the days (we hope) of talking people out of joint replacements because of age - no-one should be telling people that they will need their knee "doing again in 10 years time", as modern technology has meant replacements are lasting longer and longer.

With this outdated approach, we are simply telling people to live a limited life for no good, evidence led reason.

📄 Comparative analysis of different total hip replacement implants used in a single health region of the United Kingdom- minimum 15 years follow-up, Kiran et al., 2016

📄 More than 80% of total knee replacements can last for 25 years, Evans et al, 2019

Actually, that last line is pretty catchy, might use it again 🤔😂

On a serious note;
- be sure that you choose a great therapist not just a great salesperson 👍🏼
- if *fear* is part of the sales pitch, be brave enough to ask more questions 🤜🏼
- if the quote is based on a specific number of sessions, ask for information on *why* that is the magic number 👌🏼
- if you have not needed your therapist for 3 months, 25% off is not a good enough reason to have more treatment 💰

When someone is in pain, we therapists all have a righting reflex, whereby we want to be the one who helps you become pain-free.

However, it is so important to be brave enough to say "I don't know" what is causing your pain - it can certainly be less harmful than simply filling a silence because you are not sure.

Some people have received a huge range of diagnoses over the years which can all contribute to a state of fragility, as they have collected 'conditions' that they had no idea about.

Often, these conditions have no relationship with the person’s pain; they are merely observations which at best correlate with the pain. There is no real causal link.

And of course saying "I don't know what is causing your pain" is not the same as saying "I can't help you".

Once all red flags have been ruled out, how important is it to give the pain a title?

And does that title help or hinder the recovery?

Leg length is a measurement that is taken by many rehabilitation professionals when patients present with various conditions.

It is something that a lot of people present here with as a previous diagnosis, with symptoms ranging from plantar fasciitis to headaches, yet always blamed on legs that appear a “different length”.

However, I think it’s fair to critically appraise the research, and ask ourselves how easy it is to try measure leg length, and if these inequalities are truly associated with all these symptoms.

And if so, how much of a discrepancy must exist before we see problems?

One of the hardest parts of being injured, or being in pain, is the not knowing.

“Will it get better on its own?”
“How long will it take?”
“What should I do?”
“What shouldn’t I do?”
“Am I safe to continue?”
“Am I making it worse?” ...."How much is this going to cost?!"

Those that have been in clinic with me will know that I like people to get comfy in the chair, and for them to feel comfortable enough to tell me their 'story', at their pace, with everything and anything that is relevant to them.

I know it's always tempting to give it a "few more days", but the opportunity to have the above questions answered by someone who knows, can result in dramatically less time suffering, and usually ends up with less treatment in the future.

So if you are stuck not knowing what to do, drop me a message 👍🏼

Whenever people ask what I’m training for, I just say “forever” 🤷‍♂️

Normalise “because I get to” as a reason to train 🤜🏼

Think about it:

Your children; that dream job; that PB; that medal; your 1RM; your triumphant return from injury.

Hard work brings beautiful things, and nothing worth having comes without effort.

Victories and beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, but it always feels better because of the effort.
