Ok, I will answer in order

1- hmmm, not sane, that we know. All members of my family shoud be on some kind of medication

2- my primary doctor is very good. The problem is that there just aren't a lot of good sports oriented doctors around here unless you find someone in the city (NYC) I tried that route with my shoulder several years back but the doctors who treat the pro's couldn't really be bothered with you so although they would be awesome, there's little interest on their part.

3- My PT guy, Eric is awesome, he is a tri-athelete and is really up on his training, He doesn't get a lot of severe groin /ab injuries and so he doesn't see a lot of patients who have this to learn which doctors are best. keep in mind, this ain't colorado.

4- Do I need a doctor? I don't know, i would just like to know what I did and if there's something more that can be done. So far, in 3 doctors, not one has ordered any test. The last two checked me for hernia's and that's it. No tests for strenght or really anything else. The guy yesterday was turning my leg. it turned fine, the problem is it never hurt to turn that way, but he never asked, he never even asked what hurt now? He didn't ask when I have pain or where. Didn't ask what activities I normally do, didn't ask my usual excercise program or how often, didn't ask my goals or what i wanted...

5- Yes, this is my second round of PT. the 2nd doctor said I should not excercise at all and it would heal. Rememeber , he did no tests either.

I just want to know what's broken, torn, srtained pulled or maybe everything is fine and I'm nuts........
