For 16 years I’ve been able to avoid any type of acute injury. But I just couldn’t get out unscathed! Of course, as with most injures that bodybuilders experience, mine took place out of the gym and under normal, everyday circumstances. It had snowed the night before and I was walking on some slippery pavement when I started to slip; I attempted to regain my balance and the next thing I knew, I had no control over my left leg and literally felt and heard my left knee crumble underneath me. Between the pain and the inability to move my leg, I knew that the nature of the injury was serious. Later diagnosis revealed a fuly torn quadriceps tendon and the need for surgical reattachment. It’s now been 2 days since surgery and this sucks!
That blows, I hope you heal up quick and well. Same here, like 7 years ago, walked out into the driveway, all ice.
Went up in the air, came down on the point of my elbow. After looking around to see if anyone saw me, I then proceeded to while like Peter Griffin.
Have had floating bone chips ever since, which sucks. (Too busy and too lazy to get it fixed, which I will do one day I guess).
Hopefully you got some decent painkillers at least. (Unless of course you dont like taking those)... Anyways, hope you get better soon...
At least it was your leg, its hard to post on GetBig with an injured hand/arm!
