I went to the doctor because I had to lift a lot of heavy objects at work and my knees were sore and made noises when I bent and straightened them. They said my knee cartilage was worn out after an X-ray. I had to work and I'm only in my 20s, so I was worried because they said my knee cartilage was worn out. But the physical therapist comforted me, saying that I was still young and would get better quickly if I diligently received treatment! So, I diligently received physical therapy, medication, and manual therapy. I received them three times, and contrary to my worries, I really improved! Manual therapy is a bit expensive, but I definitely think it helps with recovery, so I recommend it! I do get stiffness once in a while when the weather is cold, but I plan to visit again when I have time.
