My Poor Knee

It all started in 1998. When i starting jumping for VS. Guess i started too suddenly to train for jumps without adequate conditioning therefore resulted in an inflamed tendon. then in 1999 and 2000 i suffered frm meniscus tear. trained too much. been thru many physiotherapist sessions at SSC at national stadium. got massaged, electrified and gymmed and all..

frm then on..time to time if i accidentally exert too much force on my knee i will suffer some pain..but all was pretty fine...

den in late april 2006, while having a game of court soccer at TH court..a clash in the air and landed akwardly on the ground. OUCHES..knee damn pain..and i still want to play hero and carry on..in the end aggravated it..cant even walk properly man..

for the next 2 wks..i cant even straighten my leg and cant bend it fully either..cant squat or kneel. f**king painful..den after a mth i tried to play court soccer again with my vs frens..kena again..but after i rested for a while..the pain went off..and i continued playin for a while in a relac mode..

den ivp got frenly against medicine..i garang and decided to take part in it..wear a nike knee support thingy..den knnbccb, the right back got cut by mi already den slide frm behind..the tackle was ok..it was the fall..the angle and impact really hurt my knee man..and i had to be helped off the pitch..rested on the grandstand for a while and the pain gradually subsided..but nonetheless aggravated my knee problem...couldnt squat without pain again..

den in the end i decided to see the physio..i decided that the recovery was taking too long on its own..and my knee actually gave the physio some problem as he couldnt really diagnose which part of the knee was hurting mi. he's quite pro and gd and nice lah..so no complaints. he did all the tests for ligament and meniscus and i had no pain..but on trying to bend my knee fully..the pain was excruciating..so he came to a conclusion that i needed no scan or op for the moment and discussed with mi how to strengthen my leg and that the meniscus was indeed the problem area. the recovery for meniscus takes very long and he recomended mi to see him again after 1 mth to chk on the progress.

so here i am..out for at least 1 mth and probably wun be able to return to full action for at least another mth frm there..might try to kick a ball ard here and there when i have a chance..just to keep my leg active and not nua all the way..

a note to myself....be disciplined! dun exert too much when i play or workout..and start on my fyp report!!
