| Old_Fox | 6 days | So rest and cream helped to get the swelling down - bit of ice as well of course. Also took a few anti swelling tabs. It is still sore - but I can run almost normally now. Additionally decided to go with some new shoes as well to try and stay one step ahead of any runners knee problems in winter, as I push my mileage up. | details |

| ebone | 8 days | I don't think the knee has been painful during exercise (or at any other time) since the PCTR trail run on Jan. 21, so I guess the knee is better. I was fortunate that training did not seem to significantly aggravate this injury, and it healed during a pretty heavy training week. As of Jan. 25, there is still a faint lump/mound near the site of the impact, and the scab is still there. Also, when I press on it hard, it hurts a bit. | details |

| randallxski | 8 days | The outside of my knee is still slightly tender to touch, but is feeling much better. It never really affected my skiing, other than being afraid of falling on that side. | details |

| Ollie | 14 days | Continued to run the S6D races on it - it hurt for the first minute or so, then subsided. Certainly made me go a little slower than I good for part of each race. Probably not very wise - but it's stopped hurting now altogether. | details |

| Swisscheese | 23 days | Well, I didn't try to do anything about it because it was during my rest period. But it was surprising how long it took to recover. If it would happen during the season I really need to be careful to do everything to minimize the recovery time. | details |

| hf | 28 days | Let it heal: Rest, ice and maybe a visit at a physiotherapist. It takes significantly longer to heal if there is an open wound. Not 100% recovered yet - only 99% :-) Running goes now totally painless and without feeling anything in the knee. | details |
| ximenes | 28 days | I won't say I am 100% recovered as there is some residual stiffness at times and some occasional pain when bending the knee too far. However, it is much, much better. Lessons learned: get better at XC skiing downhil!! | details |
| JaxonRickel | 28 days | Good rest and stationary biking helped a lot. | details |
| Lunaeventer | 29 days | Still some anterior knee pain running downhill, but resolving. Only really bothered me at Rat Race on Saturday running on streets. | details |

| Rabbanah | 31 days | Finally better. I did not even notice it this morning, not even the soft tissue. I am still concerned that as I pile on the miles that it will flare up again, but it can't be helped. And, once bone gets formed, it builds up pretty fast so I think it should adapt fine. | details |
| Shaya | 32 days | I think it was caused by a very low seat on my off road bike. I noticed it too late. Had to replace the bracket that holds the post! | details |
| OJ | 32 days | I kept a light running load (15-25 mins per day) and resorted to biking and cross trainer for about a month. With more real rest it might well have recovered faster? Stayed worst of all in terrain - I guess it was a stability issue in the end. | details |

| mayer22 | 36 days | Careful getting drained and a cortisone shot. Consider avoiding it if possible. Watch for infection and don't let it get too bad. My knee was probably getting red before it started swelling. I could have recovered MUCH faster if I had caught it earlier! Careful using heat during the infection. If the wound starts bleeding you don't want new blood to be coming out but getting the old blood out is good. BE CAREFUL but try and let it drain. Heat/ice combo worked well on my knee.

| silkychrome | 68 days | This injury never was terrible but was extremely slow to heal. Probably didn't help much that I didn't cut down my running volume until Week 4. Also didn't help that I re-injured it in a mtb crash Week 6. Ah, well. Now just trying to build up run volume. | details |

| j-man | 90 days | August 1 is kind of an arbitary end to this, but I might as well draw the line somewhere. I still have a bump on the knee, likely permanent, but I don't have pain or stiffness anymore in the morning, which is a good sign. The true test would be making a long car trip in the back seat. | details |
| ZoeB | 95 days | details | |
| bubi | 101 days | Rest ... It seems now to be over. However - the other injury seems more serious now. | details |
| markg | 103 days | Lots of time. | details |
| ebone | 106 days | This injury lingered for a long time. It probably didn't help to race the Sprint Series Champs on it right after incurring the injury. During November and December, it kept feeling like it had healed, but then it would hurt again while running or walking downhill. The pain on the side of the knee eventually went away and seemed to be replaced with some pain directly under the kneecap. As of the end of the year, it seems to be all but gone, so I'll arbitrarily call that the end date. | details |
