i have always been healthy. i played soccer for 7 years. i was invloved in 2 car accidents when both my knees hit the glove box. they were xrayed but nothing was wrong. but back in 2011 i was involved in domestic violence and was shoved down a flight of stairs. my left leg was very swollen and bruised i was walking with a limp but the doctors did not xray it
