I popped my knee tonight. Not my bad knee, my good one. At a&e finding out how bad it is.*
Just a freak training accident.
*Spoiler alert. It's BAD & sore.
Fingers crossed it’s ok
As expected, dislocated knee with slight damage to MCL.
Crutches, rest, ice then physio.
I've done the other knee a few times so know the drill .
It's going to make getting to work interesting... It's NORMALLY 10miles on my bicycle, I don't have a car & the bus is a 25min walk from home.
God bless the NHS & all who sail in her.
Does tour work provide sick pay? Maybe worth taking a few days/weeks off first if you can before attempting the dreaded public transport?
I'm seriously having second thoughts about it - all I hear about is how there's quite a lot of people who get injured during it. Thankfully, the class sensei has offered me private lessons while my ribs get back to being fully healed, to concentrate on footwork etc. Should be interesting, as I'm 6ft 5" and she's 4" 11.....
Hopefully it’ll be fine- the Doc was sure everything is still attached (& not torn) so once the swelling is down we can assess how bad it really is.
Despite the brilliance of the service I got from the NHS I’ll probably see a private physio as I’m an impatient bugger & want to get rehabbing ASAP.
It's nowhere near as much fun!
Also, there's another new starter in the class, and she's a lovely girl - but she just will not concentrate or shut-up. Constantly talking and disrupting others - pretty annoying and disrespectful. She also reckons she broke two ribs and her big toe, but is back training after a week.... I call BS!
Just line up away from her so at least she isn’t talking in your ear.
Pretty freaky.
We had a guy like that at our club for a while, his nickname was (stretch) Armstrong- hypemobile in his joints. It was HORRIBLE to apply a technique and then see it go WAY past "normal". I used to just go for chokes on him... One day his shoulder did "let go" & he was out for a while.
Some folk see it as a matter of pride to never tap. Not me- if it's on, it's on. Tap & go again.
I'm a little bit like that with Kimura's I just don't feel it. I've learned to see when it's on and tap, but it doesn't hurt at the shoulder.
Presumably if she has a high pain threshold she won't mind being told to SHUT THE HELL UP while the prof is demonstrating a technique?
A lot of new martial artists think brute force is a substitute for skill... No one wants a torn tendon because someone want confident in their form so they just wanged a load more muscle into it (as happened to my rotator cuff...)
And because those aren't taught to white belts others wouldn't be allowed to do them on white belts
As for the girl who doesn't feel pain, maybe she's hugely double jointed. If an arm can bend backwards, bending it backwards won't hurt ...
