i injured myself on tuesday i was working w/ my trainer and we were on my 3rd set of weighted walking kettlebell lunges(bells held above chest)
I lost my balance and pushed off my toes i figure...heard a loud CRACK POP...my left knee twisted out...leg was like jello...and I fell...fast and hard
After a minutre of agonizing pain I was able to get up and we tested my leg...3 sets of bodyweight step up, 25 reps per leg...4 sets of leg presses...4 plates a side, 20 reps
Dumbell squats...2 sets of 15
Dumbell stiff leg deads...2 sets of 20
only a mild pain when doing them
Very sore that night...woke up screaming in pain...could hardly walk on my leg
Next day, leg began to swell by the hour...bruising began...calf, ham, upper quad, major bruising...felt like vomitting all day...leg was swollen like a nuclear coconut
My boss sent me home early from work...i got an appointment at the doctor...took xrays...nada...drained my knee...only some blood came out...will get mri on monday now that i have insurance
Day after he drained my knee...limp has gone away
its now sunday and swelling has gone down a bit...still left over bruising...there is tenderness if i push on my knee cap, and i have pain on the right side of my knee cap, and a very tight sore feeling on the right side of my leg... its hard to bend my leg ...when i sit down i feel a tight pull on my quad on the left side of my quad
i really feel the stiffness in the place where u bend and squeeze your hamstring in the stead leg curl machine
any thoughts guys??
thanks
