  • I have had the same diagnosis but he won’t send me for an MRI. Mine came to the fore when I started playing cricket again.

    I’m likely behind you as I don’t have the bag of pebbles feeling. It manifests itself as a constant ache for a couple of days at a time and a physio says there’s a chronic lack of stability in my knee, hence the two twist injuries I suffered last year.

    I’m fine cycling. I wear a support for running and cricket and when I go hiking on anything other than well maintained trails.

    I’ve managed mine with ibuprofen tablets and gel so far but I know it’ll fall apart one day. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

  • Advantage of a small country. Urgent can be MRI in a few days, mine is in two weeks.

    Cycling is still fine, hiking seems okay but we're really only talking a couple of hours in the forests rather than all day across rough terrain. Ironically, day to day life is the bit where it hurts.

    I think I'll have to get a decent knee support. It was instability at certain times (like shifting a heavy box) that made me think something was wrong even before the pain

  • I can generally run okay (despite being quite unfit) as long as my knee tracks broadly up and down. It’s twisting and rolling that does me in.

    Think my cricket career is over.
