        Hello:
                I would like to explain you a case.
                Young man (19), football player amateur. After one month
without training since the end of the regular season, he began the new
season with a proffessional team. The first day he took a very hard
training. After it he complained of pain in lateral side of the knee.
The diagnosis was tendonitis in the  tibial inserction of  m. tensor
fasciae latae. He stopped trainig and began rehab treatment (US,
massage). Two weeks after he was infiltarted and one week after he was
able to began soft (quite soft) training.  He was increasing intensity
of trainings but he always finished them with pain. Two days ago he was
not able to finish the training after two days of rest. Total time since
the begining is more than one month and a half. The NMR did not show any
problem in the knee (meniscus,...). What do you think about it? Can you
help me?
                Thank you very much.
