L Knee, Other
2021-12-25 – 2024-03-17
Grade: 2
Osteochondritis Desicens. Previous cartilage injury hasn't healed, and now another flap of cartilage is starting to come loose. Minimal pain, but catching feeling around the knee was getting really bad during matches, meaning that I could take about 3 steps without an issue each point. Getting better after a few months and some strength training, but still not fixed. Initially the surgeon recommended lateral release surgery that would have put me out for 6 months, but he is ok with attempting a non-surgical approach.
Not an exact recovery date but hasn't bothered me for a while now that I have switched to focus on running/orienteering rather than tennis.
