i am new to the group and have just found out thru MRI that I have a
medial collateral ligament sprain and 2 bone bruises on my left
knee. I am a rather rabid hiker and these injuries were caused by 2
falls, one on 11/30 and one on 12/4 in which my knee hyperflexed
under me. i hiked out (4 more hours) but then was in pain, rested a
few days, hiked again last weekend and now am in pain again. i want
to try magnets on this if there is a chance of them working, but
have no idea where to begin or what to buy--there is a ton of stuff
out there. also am wondering if i should treat my whole body with
magnets and not just the knee in question? i have metal in my left
ankle, plate and 7 screws from a fracture in nov 2000.
any advice and feedback will be greatly appreciated, and I wish you
luck with your injuries which sound pretty serious-mine
theoretically will heal on their own in a month or so but it seems
like way too long for me!! I am in suburban NY, rockland county
thanks
