I am a 17 year old that weighs 170 lbs and stands 6 0 tall. I have a bodybuilder body type, I bench press 315 lbs, so im mostly muscle. I have a osteochondritis desican on my femoral chondrile. It s a pretty large one, about 6 cm. My doctor decided to drill my dead bone to see if it would encourage healing. He used the smallest wire with a minimal approach. It wasnt very succesful, it barely got smaller. However he did discover that there was no cartilage damge, and it was a leision. I belive the origin of my leision is from the consecutive banging of my knees into my chin, i suffered from a horrible severe motor tic filled childhood. I just recently grew out of it. But my doctor belives all the microtraumas caused my leision. Also it couldve been soccer. Ive been playing soccer all my life and havent been able to play the past 2 years. I kept using my knee for months and would limp around on the soccer field. It has been almost two years since the procedure I really want to play the season this year, w eve started practicing and im slowly getting back into it my knee is a little sore the next day but i also do alot of lifting that would put unwanted stress on my knee. I want help anykind of help! my doctor didnt tell me anything, he just used some big words and walked out. I need information about it and playing soccer? if i can hack the pain and ice it ect. should i still play? whats the risk? if you could please help me that would be great. -J
