So….I just started to train (almost) normally…
about a week or so I was doing right low kicks on the big pad.
I was barefoot and had some pain on my left sole (is this the right word as I’m not a native speaker?), that’s why I wasn’t able to rotate my left leg but I still tried to kick the pad as hard as I could. (Stupid, I know, but it’s been too long and I could’t resist)
The next day my left knee was swollen and I can still barely walk. The doctor said that it’s probably meniscus again, but “doctor google” says that it’s an ACL injury.
I’m scheduled to have an MRI in the second half of November.
Keep your fingers crossed and I’ll keep you updated.
You need an MRI.
A surgeon was convinced I had multiple ligament tears it ended up being a butterfly rupture of my meniscus(he literally made a friendly bet with me). It literally caused my knee to slide out from underneath me on a sharp lateral movement in basketball.
I ended up skipping surgery since it only happened in very rare situations and hasn't happened since that one time.
If the meniscus is not causing your knee to 'catch' or lock I'd skip surgery if at all possible. I have a friend who just had knee replacement at 47 because he has prior surgeries to remove meniscus tears(and literally had nothing there).
I highly recommend doing squats, lunges, deadlifts, step ups, etc and anything else that will strengthen your knee joint. Full ROM squats are amazing at strengthening your knee joints.
If you haven't tried, BPC157 and TB500 are excellent for healing all sorts of muscoskeletal injuries.
Consider applying DMSO gel with or without pure melatonin powder to your knees to reduce inflammation.
