Two weeks ago I sprained my MCL in my knee. I did it playing Lacrosse, what else do I do. Spraining my knee has been a major set back for me. It is my first major injury. I'm the person that's always on the go too, so it affects me a lot. 3-4 times a week I'm working out, the rest of the week I'm playing lacrosse. Lacrosse has been my life ever since age 7. I fell in love with the game the first time I scored a goal. Ever since then I've spent unbelieveable hours shooting trying to perfect my shot both left handed and right handed. During the Summer break not only did I play in 3 lacrosse leagues but everyday I spent close to 8 hours a day outside shooting at my lacrosse net in the back yard. Shooting side arm, overhand, backhand, on the run, with both hands, one hand, you name it I'll try to do it. I can't even tell you how many lacrosse balls I've been through, the number is close to the hundreds.
So this injury was and still is a major setback. I had a MRI done to check the status of my knee and the doctor said it is only a light sprain on my MCL. It has only been two weeks since the injury but it feels more like a lifetime. I have refrained from any playing on it. Although I do have a brace for it I do not want to risk any further injury. I've taken the advice of friends of the family by not playing on it until it is fully heald. I remember one of my friends saying "you don't want to mess up your knees they have to carry you the rest of your life". So I am taking zero risk of reinjuring again. I am going to physical therapy this week to hopefully shorten the recovery time. I hope it all works out for the best. Since I can't play lacrosse or workout I don't feel like myself.
