| emilyr | 3 days | Still hurts when pressured it applied to it or my raw skin hits something, but felt fine. Rest seemed to do the trick. :) | details |
| hel vino | 3 days | Impact caused it, arnica, RICE and particularly taking it easy for 3 days (still training but not as much as planned) led to a speedy recovery. | details |

| 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 |

| LilFlip | 7 days | Stretching, rest, ice, and easy runs. Still not 100%, but improved enough to not consider it an "injury" anymore. | details |
| Craney | 7 days | don't hit your knee on a rock | details |
| Sebba | 7 days | details | |
| siaipsau | 7 days | gydymas buvo kaip visada: priesuzdegiminiai vaistai+proceduros+sildantis tepalas. kol kas nieko geresnio traumatologas nesugalvojo. na as dar kartais pries uzdegima naudoju slapimo kompresa, bet cia labiau buvo sumusimas. | 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 |
| Nadim | 9 days | Rest. | details |
| Linas | 9 days | Strong pain came back in O-race in 2008-03-25, so recovery is taking much more time. | details |

| Bender | 13 days | Stayed off of it and DWR for two weeks. | details |
| 3m | 13 days | Graze finally healing, will have nice scar on my knee for awhile. Swelling has almost completely gone and there is almost no pain except when I kneel on it. Dont run on gravel roads! | details |

| Wyatt | 13 days | 4th day got worse, then did 2 short easy runs per day, and some IT DT and stretch | details |
| apocolypto | 13 days | 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 |
| johncrowther | 17 days | Seems to be better after a couple of weeks. | details |
| zimmi | 18 days | Salben und schonen hat geholfen! Jetzt scheint es mehr oder weniger überstanden! noch etwas versteifter Oberschenkel! | details |
| lost in space | 18 days | Did the rice thing obsessively! after 2 days of rest I began to walk and spin! started massage therapy with excellent results. | details |
| nomiii | 18 days | yayyy. just needed a few extra days to get extra better. | details |
| fell | 19 days | lots of icing, massage, and exercises did the trick! | details |
| acjospe | 19 days | stop training on injuries that can't be trained through. better to rest... duh. | details |
| JennyJ | 21 days | Watch out for tram tracks Neck still a little stiff and knee a little sore but can't really say I'm injured anymore. | details |
| bedders | 21 days | Plenty of rest. Just being very bored by not training. | details |
| greg | 23 days | details | |
| hel vino | 25 days | Caused by a fall. Never fully recovered as wasn't getting any cushioning, all shoes getting too old at the same time. Some proper rest and some new shoes seem to have sorted it. | details |
| zoolander | 25 days | all good now. Still a bit of scar tissue under the injury site but no probs. Went back and actually got the rope so that one is a done deal now. | details |
| dkonotopetz | 26 days | 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| The Rooster | 33 days | Time has resolved this but I think this could be back after my next long Bob Graham run. | details |
| robw | 34 days | details | |
| Jubby | 38 days | Gradual rest/light training - focus on swim and bike as did not make any worse. | details |
| texas | 42 days | stopped running for a while until it stopped hurting so bad. hurts now and then when i run | details |
| msm | 44 days | I just waited this one out. Still a little sore to kneel on but really I consided it full recovered. | details |
| FrankTheTank | 63 days | My knee has been doing well with only some very minor pain every once in a while. Particularly on downhills. | details |
| Acampbell | 65 days | 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 |
| bubi | 101 days | Rest ... It seems now to be over. However - the other injury seems more serious now. | 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 |

| Boltboi | 227 days | Should have taken more time off work after surgery to help reduce the swelling that hung around due to me being on my feet at work to soon. Rehab had limited success due to the severity of the swelling | details |
