Yo. Today I was surfin the pipe at steamboat (18 footer) and about 3/4 of the way down im surfin so that I'm almost getting high enough to be perpendicular to the top side of the pipe, and I'm regular stances so as im on my toe side carve at the tippy top of the left hand side of the pipe looking down from the top i catch my toeside edge or whatever idk what happened and I fall on my fucking knee. It's all bruised and you know how if you angle your knee correctly you can mush around your kneecap? Yeah well whenever I try to do that it feels like a fucking pan on my knee so help.

The swelling will stop the natural pattella tracking and movement which will cause all that pain. While there is swelling in the joint TAKE IT EASY. Stay the hell off it, and RICE (rest, ice, compress, and elevate) the knee. It is all to easy to do further damage if you rush back before its happy again. gl

There is a cure for this, get a mate to take a brick, preferably a whole brick, the bigger the better, and get him to walk you really really hard around the head, i bet your knee is the last of your problems after this, and will soon be forgotten... ;)

On a flip note, only joking, hope it heals soon, but it won't heal if you don't get it looked at...!
