Well, it turns out my knee injury at basketball last Thursday was not my Right IT band as initially thought.

Dave with Whitworth Physical Therapy took a closer look today, since it was being so slow to heal. I had been icing it on and off each day, and cancelled Kungfu because it still hurt. I've been wearing my knee brace each day part of the day too.
He's diagnosed it as the right lateral collateral ligament ( I love the illiterative quality of that combination of words). He says it's a 2nd degree injury (3rd degree apparently the worst = surgery). He said it will be a minimum of 6-8 weeks before I could try basket ball again, but he'd
recommend against it at all. Kungfu I can do as long as I don't do any wide stances or pivot on the right leg.
:-( :-(

This bums me out. Seems like a 'whack a mole', I get one problem tackled and a new one pops up somewhere else. :-( :-(

I'll have to wear the knee brace for a while and continue icing each day as I've been doing since Friday. Argh.

I had a good session at PT today though, showed significant progress in each of the areas. We avoided the exercises that would aggravate the right knee.

Meanwhile, Happy Turkey Days tomorrow to everyone!
Cheers,
