It's these injuries that can resort to ending a player's career which has happened a lot in the NHL a lot of players end up cutting their careers short because of injuries due to repeated injuries to the same place over and over again for a course of years. This can also keep a player in pain for years on end and can escalate to chronic which requires them to be in some kind of physical therapy and pain management. It's not a pleasant thing for many athletes who have career ending injuries because they're constantly in pain that can sometimes be unbearable which can make their lives hard to deal with. Many athletes are also becoming too reliant on medications to fix problems and that too has caused issues.
A lot of the common knee injuries are fixed with shots of cortisone which can cause erosion of the cartilage in the knees which can be serious and result in full or partial knee replacement when it gets to be to the point that tearing begins to set in. This is why a lot of physical and massage therapists can know right away what part of an athlete's body will eventually wear out because of the frequent repetitive moving they do during a game or even the training they do in the off season.
The surgeries these athletes get are really the most painful things around they may fix the problem, but they can also cause pain to get worse over time to where it's chronic and persistent and can be bothersome making it difficult to sleep and do normal daily activities in and outside of the home. Many athletes are usually not good at accepting retirement especially due to injuries that can end a career, but many of them will not listen to a doctor when he or she tells them to rest and follow the self care instructions laid out for them so they can get the recuperation in so they can be back on the ice in a shorter amount of time. There's a reason doctors say this and that's so the body can take the time to heal itself from an injury and can allow the body to recuperate naturally without so much pain medication.
