I felt it snap and after an MRI it was confirmed that I had a partial tear on my Anterior Ligament (ligament at the back).
So I did physio sessions done and over time (ie about 1.5 years) it was ok. I had to wear a knee guard when excersizing and occasional instability when walking was normal.
Then over the weekend while we were in PD, I did something silly. I was trying to do those jumping shots by the beach and I snapped my knee again! Literally SNAPPED it that my sis-in-law heard it! Fell immediately on the sand, but since this is the second time I kinda knew how to handle it. I iced it to bring down the swelling and wrapped it up with a bandage. I was still able to walk but limping.
That happened on Sunday, so I waited til Tuesday to see my physiotherapist. My usual doc is away but the physio said that I needed an MRI to check the degree of the tear. Usually, from a partial tear, it might have been fully torn this time. A fully torn ligament does mean a recommendation to operate! Yikesss!!! My MRI appointment is next week on Tuesday so we just have to wait till then.
This is the photo that caused it all. A second before it snapped! My last ever jumping shot. Lucky the photo turned out well coz I can never EVER do this again.
