Last week I pulled into a bearwhole that clamped down shut, and I was unable pull it...next thing I know is I felt my front knee collapse towards rear foot and tag the deck of the board. Immediately afterwards there was that feeling where you know you hurt yourself but i kept surfing as the conditions were very fun, and only one other guy out! it was kinda pumping 2-4ft hollow running rights on a nice reef.
So I Just got back from the doctor with a sheet of PT (as if its a miniscus tear) and an xray was taken (waiting to hear results). It doesnt feel painful sleeping or walking, just when squatting/pumping/ turning. basically surfing is only thing it doesnt like.
Whats the bestest quickest way to make sure I'm close to 100% for a 3 wk serf trip?
-are there some special cortizone kinda healing pills?
PT & R-I-C-E for sure.
I'm wearing a compression neoprene braces i wear under knee pads when riding moto.
Ultrasound ? Senora Doc didnt mention this but i've had it work before from overuse cycling strain in knee.
Really need some help as we have never been to Europe and it would be really sweet to be stoked and surfing like a gremlin again.
