Soo…. I played my GF 🙌
Not to the standard and capacity I would’ve loved to, but I got my knee good enough in the 2wks since hurting it to be able to run, jump and change direction and at about 80%… so that’s a win!
So what happened? And how did I manage it?
Basically landed on my knee.. but not on the tibial aspect. I landed on the top of the patella and essentially the space between the patella and the femur. Weird spot really.
It hurt like F*** but was able to play on.
When I got home I started RICER straight away and for the next 3 days couldn’t bend it or put pressure on it… and fair enough.
By the Monday the swelling has reduced but felt nervey and super sore in 1x particular spot! Fracture?!?
All tests say no fracture but I’d never done this before so had to rule it out.
Xray was negative to fracture but inconclusive in one section due to the amount of swelling still present.
Until my game, my priority was the management of swelling so when I could I got off it and either iced it or got the ultra sound machine to it.
I did this daily 2-3x per day and was diligent with it. A life saver!!
On the day of the final I taped my knee early to get used to movement and it worked a treat.
I’m still not sure what the prognosis is… and I’ve now gone backwards in progress now the swelling and nerviness has returned but I’ll just continue icing and using the machine even when I go away and hope for the best.
MRI is booked for when I get back… hopefully I don’t need it though 🤞
