Quicky

Thought id add a quick little input.

Today I went to the physiotherapist, and we concluded that I most likely have what is known as "jumpers knee". My english skills is so poor so I dont know how to explain the condition. Ill just cut and paste a link with some info instead ;)

"Jumpers knee"

I think I have grade 1 or 2. So some rest and some simple exercices for the coming 4 - 6 weeks should fix the problem. This means, NO explosive excercises or jumping for that time. So I will be climbing of walls the first week I think.. But considering what will happen if ignored for to long it makes me very eager to rest.

If I reach grade 4, I will have to rest for atleast 3 months from training.. Not fun when the spring/summer is closing in. Also, at that grade of damage a surgery might be needed.

Also, there is another problem knows as: "patella tendonitis" that is sometimes confused with "jumpers knee". Jumpers knee is a degeneration of the tendon, and the first is an inflammation. The first is a bit more serious then "Jumpers knee"..

My therapist said that he wasnt 100% sure I actually had jumpers knee, but it was most likley. So we will try to do my rehab training for 4 - 6 weeks, and alot of rest, and see what happens. If that doesnt work, I think its off to the good doctor to make some x-ray and things like that.. I keep my fingers crossed that I do not have an inflammation.

And to top it all, I feel im getting ill aswell. Been feeling heavy in my head all day, and I had some shivers aswell. Also some sore throat.. The gods do not smile at me right now..

Now im going to go and lay down I think.. Be well!
