I’ve already had two surgeries on my right knee. I fucked it up again at jrtc two months ago and have an open LoD. Tomorrow I have another appointment for my knee where they are probably going to recommend a 3rd surgery. I literally can’t run anymore. For the past two months I’ve been trying to get back into running but I just can’t because of the pain.

Like today I tried running 30-60s and like 15 seconds into a sprint I get a horrible stabbing pain in the inside of my knee that I have to sit down for a few minutes to get it to go away. Then I try distance runs and about 3-5 minutes in, I get that same pain causing me to stop and sit down for a bit. Next month we have our PT test that goes on record. There is no way I’m gonna be able to pass it.

My readiness nco is the one that told me about the permanent profile so I can walk the run. I’ve emailed him a few times about it but he just ignores them. How would I be able to get this profile? I’m in the Guard btw

This shit is depressing. I would kill to be able to run again.

Yes. Must be approved by medical personnel first.

you need to submit your paperwork and medical documentation for a permanent profile. However, you keep running on an injury. STOP! You are doing more damage. When was the last time you took a P.T. Test? If you have an open LOD, who is your POC for that. Also, you may want to look at the regulations, if you need repeated surgery (three is considered repeated) that does not meet the standard, and you should be discharged. When you had the LOD, you should of went to the doctor at that time, where is that paperwork? You need it to start your profile. Who is your medical NCO? Who is your Unit Administrator. If your FLL is not giving you the information you need, go up the chain. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY OF THE P.T. TEST...

I believe when I was in and I hate to say this there is also a bicycle test as will. I was also on a Permanent profile for running. I couldn’t run anymore. I feel your pain.
