Attempted to hit 10 miles today. Another epic fail, knee is still hurting pretty bad. Thinking of hitting up Dr. Pepper Murray in bountiful, the feeling I have with this knee I think is beyond ITB just doesnt feel like its ITB anymore. The pain is sharp and in a localized area, so we will see whats up.

Hi Ben! Scott and I are in the same running group in Utah County. I am an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. If you let me know the best way to get a hold of you, I can give you a call and help give you some guidance if you would like. I don't mind a bit.

Matt I would love some Help. Give me a call 801-814-4733. If I don't answer I usually call back pretty quick. But any advice or guidance or direction would be well appreciated. Thanks again

Sounds good Ben. I'll call you this evening. I'd call sooner, but I have a crazy day today. Talk to you soon.
