I just fought again after rehabbig my knee for 6 months!!! Had a nasty ganglion cyst that grew in my proximal anterior tibia-fibular joint under my kneecap. I never knew it was there, but just knew that my knee was in pain something fierce all of the time. It grew to the size of a large gumball!!! When the doc went in to aspirate the cyst, something went wrong and massive pain ensued. Not a great day. Events that followed: rushed to ultrasound and then MRI, found damage from the cyst aspiration & further diagnosis of Chondromalacia Patella & Quadriceps Tendinosis (not tendinitis) and 6 months of lots more pain and PT.
I've been super nervous to kick and fight again, which Is the bomb for me. I am undefeated in sparring, which is my fave part of training. There is something so gratifying about wrapping my foot around someone's head!!! (which is exactly why round kicks are my absolute favorite kicks)
In class this week I decided to go for it. Did 5 rounds and BOY DID IT FEEL GREAT! The only way to describe how it feels is like when you come back home from being away on a long trip OR like when you drink a super cold tall glass of water on an incredibly hot day and you are absolutely parched. AHHHHHHHHHHH
Kihap!
