The recovery of the knee continues. I experiment by not taking any anti-inflams / painkillers before training just to see how the knee fairs. Answer - not too bad!!! Decided i might even try a few light squats tonight depending on how it feels

Deadlift
70 x5
120 x5
140 x5
160 x5
180 x5
180 x5
180 x5
180 x5
180 x5
Felt the knee on the last couple of reps of the last couple of sets, definite progress though.

Press
60 x5
80 x5
90 x3
90 x3
90 x3
90 x3
90 x3

Squat
70 x5
70 x5
70 x5
70 x5
70 x5
Could definetely feel the knee even with 70k but the movement was relatively smooth, a week ago i dont think i could have squatted at all, so again some progress has been made

Bent Over Row 4 x8
Leg Extension 3 x15

Plenty bollox talking, Sherlock bas***d Holmes being Pete's rant for the night, ably assisted by an unnervingly knowledgeable DrRick. On the brighter side, Shawn took to power cleans like a duck to water, LittleA push pressed like a machine then front squatted much the same, Pete, Rick and Val squatted nicely, although Pete appeared near-death on every rep, and Ricks knees threatened (very noisily) to implode every rep. Val blasted a very easy PB

Cheers Mish, it is recovering slowly but surely!!!!

Had more physio on Wednesday, more manipulation and a ton load more pain for me to endure. Almost had to ask him to stop for a minute it was that bad!!!!

Verdict is the thickening of the sinuey, ligament stuff has pulled the knee cap across, which could have resulted in a dislocation, which is what i think almost happened, ouch!!!

may take a couple more sessions than first thought to break it all down and fix Unhappy

Is the knee thing going to be a permanent problem or would a spot of surgery sort it out?

Just a temporary thing hopefully T, i had a similar problem with the other knee a year back and that cleared up and has been fine since. It is a thickening on the sinew / ligament around the knee-cap which has pulled it out of line. Physio is breaking it up and hopefully will get rid fairly soon
