Got him to have a look at my knee. He thinks I have a minor medial meniscus tear and some cartilage damage under the knee cap. No real treatment or further investigation required but main priority is to make quad/it band as supple as possible and loosen up calf as it's probably at an all time high of tightness. Need to avoid full compression of the joint, i.e. kneeling and sitting back on ankles which is exactly what I do all the time. It's the seating position we use in Hapkido which is the same as the Japanese seiza. If it gets worse (more pain and inflammation) I can get a scan with a view to a scope. Hoping like hell to avoid that.
damn, sucks about the possible knee diagnosis. I can't sit back on my ankles for shit. When I was younger I couldn't either, we had to do it in Shotokan karate. Was so brutal, had to do it on this concrete floor and eventually I had osgood-schlatters (sp?), sucked so bad.
are they going to confirm the diagnosis with an MRI or something?
pc man!
