This isn't looking good. I notice very little improvement over yesterday - my range of motion is still incredibly limited. I'm keeping ice on it, but it is healing a lot slower than I'd hoped.

Anyway, I went to the track to watch the men's 3k. Brandon Hebbert won in 8:31ish. The guys I was with during the workout with finished in low to mid 8:40s. It was fun to watch. With luck I can be racing again in a couple weeks. ISU has a meet in 2 weeks, I'm tentatively planning to run it. Some UVU guys I talked to today are going to drive up and split a hotel room and invited me to come along if I'd like.

Bummer! Sorry to hear about the hurt knee. Hope you have a swift recovery and are able to run @ ISU!

I'm sorry you messed your knee up. You were ready to roll.

Icing, as you have done, is critical for the first 48-72 hours because there is usually continued internal bleeding and injury development. After the acute phase of the injury is over, increasing blood flow to and fluid exhange within the join will promote healing. Anti-inflammatories can impair healing.

If it were me, I'd do some very light biking as soon as its not painful. Not to workout, but to increase blood flow and clear out the knee.

As always, continue to consult with your doctor.
