I would recommend going to a good soft tissue person.
Yea, i'm thinking i might have to go to an ART guy. If i was to do it, i know that one of my training partners goes to a guy 45min from kokomo, but i think Bill Hartman also does ART, and since i trust his advice, and he's helped me before, i'd probably consider going to him.

I'm thinking that if i go to a doctor, they'd tell me it was tendonitis, tell me to rest, ice, and asprin, and then charge me 500 bucks. I'd rather find out WHAT'S causing my problem so i can remedy it rather than what it is.
