Doctors unfortunately have to worry more about getting sued than making you better. To them it is nowhere near as important to get you healed as it is to not get sued. Recommending working through the pain to find a better angle or anything like that will take a sports specific doctor. Find on that works with fighters and football players, they see a lot of injuries and tough guys who only want to know how do I work through this pain. I don't have time to stop. The Docs that cater to them understand that mentality and will offer up a lot more alternatives and suggestions to "Keep you in the game."
I looked for a sports specific doctor that wasn't going to just tell me if it hurts when you do that then don't do it. When I was stuck at about 95% movement in my shoulder he told me I was a succesful surgery. I told him no I am not look at this. I showed him the limitation and he told me point blank if you want better range of motion you are gonna have to suck it up and work through the scar tissue. Now that is the kind of kick you in the ass doctor I need. He even told me to use partial reps with really heavy weight to strengthen my tendons after the knee starts to get better. Not something a typical doctor would ever say. Hey you got a bum knee put 150% or your 1 rep max on it and do partials. Nope not gonna hear that too often. Hope you find a better doctor bro. One that will guide you through recovery with your interests at heart.
