My boots were slightly broken since the game last week; perhaps it was a sign. I wasn’t even challenging for the ball, was just running and tried to change direction.
I heard a “crack” and the next thing I knew, I felt like my left knee has been cracked open with a dagger.
Initial assessment indicated that the meniscus was torn but not too sure about the anterior cruciate ligament. I will have to wait for the swelling to subside before going for a MRI. Then the extent of the damage will be clearer.
Appreciate prayers that the ACL is still intact and not ruptured. If it is ruptured, it will be surgery and a kiss goodbye to active sports. Many thanks.
Blood being drawn out from my knee…

Will pray for you Zewt. I'm hitting 30 myself and already constantly feeling tired with white hair had been popping out like crazy. Speedy recovery!
wish you a speedy recovery. Take care Oi...
Ouch, take care dude. I just got a huge bruise from futsal today, so I better not complain about it since you're feeling worse

Sounds painful to me. Get well soon.
Huih... dasyat. My knee feels weak just to see the photo. Will keep you in my prayers. Get well soon!
Ouch ><
Get well soon..
Oh my, you are in the personal wars of pain. I am so sorry. Was it just blood being taken or was there some drainage happening?
My thoughts are with you. Look after yourself, do not try to do too much.
You'll tell us how you get on won't you.
wish u well my friend.
ps: interesting to note how things are done so differently in msia compared to oz- like why is there no sterile field when performing a joint aspiration (risk of joint sepsis), no gloves (???!!)... even in the countryside in oz, we made sure we were sterile at least.
oh drats! not meaning to be pessimist, but sounds like torn meniscus AND ACL. i feel for you.
Yikes! Hope you heal up quickly.
Phew! Still can play sports, right? But I guess u gotta be extra careful now. Hope for speedy recovery, Zewt! Do take care ya...
Was that your blood in the round metal cup? Looked like tomato sauce to me :) Hahahaha. Get well soon.
aku ingat aku masih boleh melakukan 'turning' dan dribble waktu main futsal.
lepas main, aku insaf dan terpaksa terima hakikat yang aku dah... boleh bermain macam old timer. duh!
get well soon!
Get well soon mate.
As with any serious injury, don't slack on your physio sessions. It pays off in leaps and bounds down the track in terms of flexibility and conditioning.
In Jesus' name you shall be healed and whole and your knee fully restored :)
Take Care =)
You're in my prayers.
Get well soon zewt. Hope it's not the ACL! Been there, done that, and seriously, the worst thing ever to happen. Take care!
omg, do take good care and rest more at the mean time. hopefully nothing more serious will happen.
no sterile field?!?!? wtf, the knee is one joint you don't want to get infected!
take care man, and please let your friendly ed doctor aspirate the knee for you, in a sterile field.
i agree with the previous comments on the non-sterile technique - is this doctor for real???
if he is, you're being short-changed, bro!
get well soon!!
