Feeling Injured

Well when I first sprained my knee I never would have thought it was something more serious.

When I went to the orthopedic the other day they took more x-rays and looked at the MRI results. I found out I have a fracture in my knee bone and meniscus erosion, but not a tear. How in the world did I ever do this?! I have absolutely no idea!

The nurse explained that this is usually common in long-time runners. Or a person with a leg injury and then it develops into this. It's very strange and random!

The bad news is that it could take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months to heal. And I have to wear the huge knee brace at all times along with my crutches. The good news is I can still workout my upper body as long as I put no weight on my injured knee. So at least I can do something, of course with lots of modification. Anything is better than nothing!

Crutches Are No Fun

Hope you're weekend is off to a great start! Mine is starting to get better after a rough night last night. Doctor appointments and MRI's are not exactly TGIF mood starters haha.

It turns out my knee is not getting better any time soon. Earlier in the week I went back to the gym to train hamstrings. As soon as I got there I could feel I wouldn't be able to workout. It doesn't hurt to walk anymore, but anytime I put weight on it, it started hurting. I figured a sprain would only last a week but turns out it's still not healed.

So Mom and I headed back to the doctors to have them recheck it with x-rays. Everything came back normal so they sent me for an MRI. I didn't really know what to expect since I've never had one before.

(In between appointments we stopped for a quick bite to eat for dinner. Love my Panera)
