Ignoring most of this thread.....
I have had problems with doctors and physical therapists who are actively anti-running. Those I do avoid. I dont insist my doctor be a runner, but if I get strong anti-running vibes, I do start to distrust them and go elsewhere. If it seems like all the answers are along the lines of "running is bad for you" then I figure they dont know jack and/or are unable to put personal prejudices aside and I wouldnt trust them to treat my strep throat.
The doctor who told me that I would never again be able to run, do high impact aerobics or weight training, sit in a soft chair or couch, sleep on a soft mattress or drive a stick shift....that doctor I ran screaming from. I was 26. I had pain in my lowback/hip area. Never did get it diagnosed properly but I still manage to do all those things 11 years later. My hip only hurts when I dont run for awhile. |
