Abstract
A 35-year-old Chinese female experienced sudden onset of right knee pain one day after a charity hiking event with no history of injury. The pain was neither relieved with diclofenic sodium nor acetaminophen and she subsequently received various modalities of physiotherapy treatment. The pain disappeared within six weeks and she was able to resume full activity.
Highlights
I had acupuncture treatment on three consecutive days and three times weekly thereafter
I continued with regular swimming practice I never played hockey again
Last year I climbed to the top of Mount Kinabalu (4095 m) and had no problem with my knees at all
Summary
I had acupuncture treatment on three consecutive days and three times weekly thereafter. I tore my left anterior cruciate ligament while playing hockey and had reconstruction surgery done more than ten years ago. The surgery was uneventful but my knee became unstable again one year later which I attributed to poor rehabilitation on my part. I developed an interest in hiking a few years ago and during the winter months I would go hiking every week for three to six hours.
