L Knee, Impact wound / trauma

2007-03-04 – 2007-04-01

Grade: 3

Hit my knee at full speed into a stone.
There is an open wound just above the Kneecap, which takes really long to heal. As a result of the impact, the knee is swollen and I cannot really bend it - this was to be expected. However, beyond that there seems nothing seriously damaged.

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.
