It popped twice in training last night. It wasn't super loud and I would say the pain was a level two or three at the time. Two pops really quickly in succession, maybe about the same sound as a knuckle cracking.
Big guy had me in kesa gatame, and I swung my far leg over to get one hook in then brought the other leg throught the middle, and and was holding him sort of like in a twister position. I switched back and forth a few times from ankles crossed to figure four, trying to stretch him out and put some pressure on his lower back so I could end up getting behind him.
I don't remember the exact position my leg was in but I had some tension in it and he kind of pinched his knees and twisted his hips a little bit and it put a lot of pressure on the inside of my knee quickly and the outside just went pop pop. He heard it and let go immediately and I was able to move everything still without it hurting too bad.
Anyway it still feels stable but sore as hell. Who's had to deal with something like this and what was your recovery time?
I'm planning to still show up for training just to know what's going on, and to do range of motion stuff and what other workouts I can. I probably won't spar for at least two or three weeks, I might not even drill.
Before everybody says to go to the doctor and get an MRI, I work for myself and have no insurance. Thanks, Eisenhower!
