Question Work Out Addiction - July 28th 2014, 03:27 AM

So about 2 years ago I was pulled from all sports for a year because of a knee surgery. I played Football, Baseball, Ran track, Bmx Raced. I loved to compete. I dislocated my knee cap in football and was out for a a couple months over the summer. When Football rolled around (5 weeks later) I decided it was time to go back. I dislocated my knee cap again after an hour of practice. The doctor took me out for the season, it was no big deal I thought. Oh how I was wrong lol. I ended up knocking off a piece of cartilage 11cm long and cause bleeding in my knee. My knee was huge. I had a surgery to clean up my knee, the problem was when the doctor was doing surgery he discovered my whole knee joint had 100s of paces of cartilage in there and that " your knee looks like of a 40 year old man who played sports" He did this thing where he drilled holes in the ends of bones to promote cartilage growth. That surgery made me 7 months on crutches. It was devastating and depressing. During this time is when I think i started getting obsessive. I felt like i was useless so I worked out my upper body like crazy until I had inflamed joints (wrists, elbows, and shoulders)

Over the years they figured out that surgery was pointless because I have a cartilage defect where the cartilage in my left knee is bad. Always. My body grows non-firm and flaky cartilage in my knee. I already need a knee replacement and I am only 17.

Somehow I now am obsessed with working hard. I barely have to try sometimes. I will workout until I get hurt. I will avoid going out so I can stay home and workout or go to swim practice. If I cant workout I loose my emotions. Sometimes I will cry or be angry for no reason. Im pretty sure that is going through withdraw.

My freshman year I added edited pounds to my bench press and Gained editedpounds.
