I can't even begin to think of how many times over the last year I have looked at a situation where someone was injured and thought to myself, "wow, I hope that never happens to me. " Well.....
Ok, so when Adrien twisted her ankle and ended up with 3 different sprains I may have joked about how that's what happens when you combine tequila, house music, and a much needed vaca.
Karma, perhaps..... Over the last week I have been battling an injured right knee. Most of the pressure is behind the knee but extension and flexion isn't happening quickly at all.
Experts are saying it's cartilage impingement. I have always been of the opinion that nobody is going to kow more about my own body than me. People defy doctors all the time and disprove what science says is supposed to happen on a daily basis. It just feels as though there are some severely strained tendons and/or ligaments around the back of my knee. Regardless of all of that, the treatment has been prescribed as REST! 4-weeks of it. Upper Body work can continue but no loading the lower body or no impact exercises to the lower body. FML.
So, stubborn much? Me, very. However, because I care about my body and want to get the most out of it then I WILL, in fact, adhere to the rx'd treatment and abide.
How hard can life knock you down and you still keep coming back for more? If this is all life's got, you're gonna have to bring more than a banged up knee. CrossFit Games 2012 begins February 22, 2012.....Bring it!
