the knee

You probably want to know all about my knee, well so the fuck do i.

I have seen about 8 people with clip boards, scrubs, those things around your neck, white coats, and various kinds of badges.

And between them they have about 14 theories on what is wrong with my knee.

The only thing they all agree on is that my knee is a bit fucked, and that I need a MRI.

The ‘urgent’ MRI is going to be scheduled for about 3 weeks time.

They have it narrowed down to about 3 things:

Cartilage damage, resulting in an operation, but one I could have whenever I wanted and I could be on the field in as little as two weeks.

Medial tear/strain, physio and rest will fix it, but could be anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks.

Anterior Cruciate tear, the least likely, but there does seem to be some sort of give in the ligament, worst case scenario is the whole season is over, best case I need a special knee brace.

There could also be combinations of the three.

I’m thinking a medial strain and some torn cartilage.

But I haven’t had an MRI, so who the hell knows, I have had an x-ray, even though that was never going to show anything.

Will keep you updated if I find out anything.

Even though they don’t know what it is, they have given me what they called a cricket bat splint.

Doesn’t look like one.
