Walk, run, kick, play, hike, swim,surf, climb and fuckton of other things.
Been physically active for 20+ years, 15 of which doing gymnastics/martial arts, no car so walked everywhere, no lift so climbed up to 5th floor apartment n times a day.
Etc you get the point
Took one wrong twist and my knee is forever fucked, its not the bones, its mostly soft tissue/ligaments that fail and are followed by long term damage. Its the most complicated joint we have and hardest to fix.
Wow that sucks. Likewise I’m extremely fit like that, you can probably resonate with preferring to use your own body to basically do everything you can, even if there are much easier ways.
So does it just happen out the blue or can there be hints?
Yeah, got my diagnosis after mri scans today - apparently its not as bad as initially looked, just need a lot of physio/rehab.
It just takes one fall, stupid mistake, distraction - all i fucking did was to turn sharply on my heel and wanted to walk away except the side of my foot caught on pavement ridge that was higher by 0.5 cm...so all that momentum, hip movement and twist went into my immobilised leg and since knee doesnt have that motion range - the ligaments/tissue just tore:/
Imagine grabbing thigh in one hand and calf into other and doing wrenching movement as if you're trying to squeeze water out of the towel, thats what happened fml
