Call the football coach at your High School or nearby college and get a recommendation for a doctor. You do not want to go to a a regular Orthopaedic Doctor--they seem to lean in the direction of surgery--which should be the absolutely last resort. Good luck. It is really not as bad as it seems to you now. Trust me, you will feel a hell of a lot better after you have seen someone who knows how to treat joint problems.

I know, I know. My wife is a EMT-P, and she is riding me pretty hard about it. I got a reference from a co-worker who is a part time coach at the high school. I will shoot them a call and get an appointment.
And yes, it was definately a little sweet justice with Contador.
