I'm requesting info for my 22 year old son. He is not one to complain unless it's pretty bad. Back round, he has wrestled and played football from 1st through 12th grades and wrestled 2 years at the D1 college level so cumulative wear and tear is possible. He finally got to see an Ortho yesterday who took x-rays, poked and prodded and said, "give it a few more weeks, maybe it will get better." He didn't think an MRI would be worthwhile. My first thought was just inflammation and that a month of Advil may cure it, but I'm no expert. I don't see how something that hasn't improved in 3 months is going to improve on it's own in 3 weeks. Any help is appreciated.
