[pct-l] Cortizone shot

[Tom Holz]

I'll try to be more realistic.  Instead of seeing a therapist 2-3 times 
a week for a month or more, go in once for an assessment and home 
exercise program.  Then follow up 4-6 weeks later for a reassessment, 
but if you are doing your homework consistently and don't see results, 
just don't go back.

You can also learn a lot from the bookstore or library.  Check out books 
on functional training and barefoot or marathon running.  Try "Chi 
Running", "Athletic Body in Balance", or "Walk yourself well".

Cortisone treats pain and inflammation, but the root cause should be 
treated, too.  Sink said he's attacking his pack weight, which goes hand 
in hand with evaluating his hiking gait to gain efficiency and reduce 
the stress on his knees even more.
