Dark,
 
Firstly, you really need to try and identify how you came to be suffering from this affliction.  What are you doing in your training that might have specifically contributed to it?  Are you landing on your plant?  Are you running sprints too fast on tight turns? (That's how I got it back in the '80's).  Are you doing something wrong with your plyometric training that has you focusing the force in that area?
 
With aggressive physical therapy you can actually recover from this quite quickly.  I'm talking about 2-3 sessions with the right physiotherapist applying the correct, state of the art techniques.  The long term problem could potentially lie in you not altering your training and this condition becoming chronic.
 
So, search your brain to figure out how this happened so you can make the necessary adjustments.  A little self-reflection can help ensure that you don't suffer from this condition again.
 
Cheers,
 

Coach Stones
