[quote=Anonymous]Hello soccer parents, looking for some sports injury advice.

My daughter banged her knee cap hard on the crappy field which has ground like cement.  Limped through game and following days game.  This was 3 weeks ago.  We have been icing, like crazy and giving rest days.  Unfortunately this happened right before tryouts (2012) so we prioritized one team that was her first choice, they were familiar with her and fortunately she was offered their top team and accepted (GA). During the 3 weeks since injury we have had days of minimal pain, and then days of much soreness playing.  I think it is a bone bruise and was hoping it would be healed as she just had 4 days off traveling to Florida with her mom where she was not playing.

Returned from Florida and it was worse then before while playing and her play is visibly effected. I am waiting on call backs from orthopedic doctor now, but as we know these can be tricky to get instant appointments.

Dilemma comes from she is supposed to practice on Friday to start getting used to new team, a bit reticent to say hey thanks for inviting her she is already hurt. The whole getting in the coaches dog house or even worse they go with one of the other zillion kids at tryouts who were solid and are going to be cut.  We also have the drama of current team knows she is leaving, did not respond well and if I shut her down for games I am sure will be given much grief.  I just bought a patella band and plan on seeing if that relieves any pain.  But question I really have is, if it is just a bone bruise, and it just hurts should she just play through it and wait it out? I know google says a few weeks off is good, but google also caters to the lowest denominator of non athletes and we all know sometimes you play dinged up & that is part of it.

appreciate any advice in this situation (not from DC but love forum) [/quote]
