Fell badly from my SUP yesterday. Initial tenderness in left knee which was bent at an awkward angle as I fell. Managed to paddle several more kilometres.

Later it swelled up and became agonising. Barely slept last night with the pain. Joint remains stable and able to bear load though. Got a compression bandage today. It’s helping massively.

Dr Google suggests that this is a grade 1 MCL tear. Mild, as the joint still retains full function. It just hurts like a fucker.

Apparently it should heal in 1 to 3 weeks. I’m hoping for 1.
