R Knee, Impact wound / trauma
2009-07-22 – ?
Grade: 3
Bursitis Prepatellaris. Injury started at Oocup after falling badly were i got a deep wound in my knee. Inflammation started to hurt very quickly when starting to run.
*Rested 3 weeks due a viral infection on my vestibular system
*Rest didn't really help, treated with ice, compression, rest and NSAIDs medications.
*First corticosteroid injection on september 1st: Worked really well the first 2 week. Pain came gradually back with up and downs, but not like before.
*Had more problems again in the beginning of december and had a second corticosteroid injection on december 7th. Worked well for about a week and fine for 3 more weeks.
*After resting one week while being sick, pain became worse when starting training again the second week of january.
*March 30 2010:
Was with Dr. Claes In Herentals again. New RX and Echo were taken. Good news that my patella tendon is not damaged. It was just a little inflamed the last time. Still the membrane over the knee cap is swolen. But the docter believes it well heal over time if i continue the way i'm doing.
Mentally it has been a very difficult training period the last 6 months. There was every training the fear that this training could be the last one. I stil have pain after training, but not so much while i'm running anymore. Now I look forward to no pain at all.
