I'm a huge fan of soccer who got injured a couple months ago. At first, I was having some patella tendonitis principles accompained with shinsplints but it wasn't until last November when I twisted my knee by false-stepping on a pothole located in the field. After the audible pop that I heard coming from my knee that day; I haven't being able to run like I used to. Does anybody know about some therapy?

considering that you heard an audible "pop" when you stepped in the hole, I would guess that you likely tore your ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament). This is your primary stabilizing ligament in your knee, and no you would not be able to run as well after doing this. You need to see an orthopedist as soon as possible. They should insist upon doing an MRI to find what damage there is. After finding what damage is present, you and your doctor can discuss if there are any options (bracing, exercises, etc..) that could avoid surgery.

You would have benefited from therapy right away. Use ice when it hurts 20 min. on and then off at least 1 hr. You can use heat now too, moist heat is best, put wet towel in microwave and use it over and over. You can look up Physical therapy exercises on the web...then do them slowly and carefully at first and then work up to 10 of each per day twice a day. This may never get better. Sorry, that is just a fact. Once an injury has occurred it often keeps us from doing the very thing we love and that caused the injury. Using a knee brace during walking or times when you will be on it for long periods will help stabilize the joint and that helps too. I hope you get better and are at least able to play the game for fun and not hurt from it...prayers for that coming your way.

Lose weight & talk to your doctor about alternatives. Possibly get a second opinion from another doctor.
