------------------------------------------------------------------------------------i dont want to be an ass... but, i dont think every complaint should be posted on this form. otherwise the form is full of people writing stuff like, 'my cousin said i won't get in'
i mean, he's obviously wrong - and you know that's what everyone is going to say. so, if you want a reaction from people telling you that, you'll get it... but, maybe what you really need is a hug

Poloace,
I see where you are coming from, I understand your point, but I don't agree with it. You see, one person's "complaint" is another person's "issue". Maybe Water4Girl doesn't know he is obviously wrong, or maybe she thinks he is but she is looking for someone who works in sports med rehab who can give her credible info on the subject. Or maybe your right, maybe she does just want a sympathetic reaction... but if so, what's the problem? Sometimes we all need a hug. Believe me, I sure do once in a while.
Part of the point of this board is that we create a free and non-judgemental forum where everyone feels they can go to ask a question, ask advice, or just ask for a big hug.
Water4Girl, while some ortho surgeons are sports medicine specialists, not all are. In truth, many of the sports medicine specialists I have met are men, but I do not believe it is a "boy's club"; I don't think any specialty is anyway. Besides, of the ortho surgeons I have met that don't do a sub-specialty in sports medicine / rehabilitation, most of them have been WOMEN... u go girl!
