| arcticQn | 59 days | Finally!! I think I'm nearly recovered. I went on a real run last night, so I'm considering that to mean I'm recovered. I still won't play soccer (maybe never again!) and any activities will be with a bit of caution for a while at least. Man, i thougth I would never get over this.. excellent..!!! | details |

| porcupine | 63 days | stretching and strenghting helps. It will probably always hurt with hard, direct falls on the knee cap. | details |
| mindsweeper | 68 days | I don't recall any particular fall or impact, so I think this was a stress injury. I didn't work out while traveling through Africa, so rest seems to have healed it. | details |

| colquhoun92 | 166 days | was never diagnosed officially (Physio thought it might be but needs X-ray or US to be sure) but almost certain it was a MCL tear. most likely caused from some decidedly dodgy descending in the snow. bad luck i suppose. at least i know what ligament pain now feels like and will rest earlier and for longer if it happens again (which i hope it wont). must just remember not to be stupid about it and rest properly with 3/4 weeks pain free before returning to slow gentle runs. | details |
