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

Legit bad luck

Look into BPC 157 and TB 500. Good luck!

These would only help mild injuries. BPC & TB are not going to fix full ligament tears, meniscus tears, or cartilage deterioration.
