So I finally went to see a specialist for knees.. well, i'm not sure exactly what he was..some doctor, but he was recommended by a fellow employer. He looked at my knees. He kept pressing different points of the knee. At one point he pressed a part and it hurt so much I started tearing up in a second. Well, he decided the left knee was worse and decided to only get x-rays of that one. He looked at the x-rays. He diagnosed it with patellar tendonitis or Jumper's knee. I've been reading about it and most of the exercising I do pretty much can be a cause of it. Well, basically he prescribed me acupuncture for the knee, then physiotherapy and then some pills (there's 2 in each bag which I have to take 2 a day for the next 3 days). Unfortunately, he didn't tell me the pills. The guy who did the physiotherapy to me gave me some stretches to do and told me to ice if a I need to. He also told me not to do a bunch of things for about a week and when I do start them again go very slowly. It screws up any workouts I have, but I guess it is better than anything else which could be getting worse down the road. Definitely an interesting time.
Hong Kong was amazing. It was a big little country which was the perfect getaway from Korea for the time-frame I was faced with. I definitely recommend going to Lan Kwai Fong, SoHo, and the Ladies Markets for anyone choosing to go.
