Time to prepare for the Dark Winter. Right now, I seem to break easily well actually my right knee is the weak point. According to Ai, it’s likely that I’ve caused a Meniscus Tear: The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that provides a cushion between your femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). Hurts like a son of a bitch and I’m limping everywhere. It could also be a common grade 1 sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) one of the four major ligaments in the knee that connects the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shinbone). *Ai certainly makes one sound like an expert in anything.
Past few days I’ve been applying Conservative Treatment: This is usually the first line of treatment for meniscus tears and includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to reduce pain and swelling. Physical therapy can also help strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve the range of motion.
I should be up and running in a few days hopefully as I have my first trip to Edinburgh next week.
