Weird knee injury at practice tonight

[leekohler2]

Tennis elbow in your knee probably

Well, to be honest, I have arthritis in my knees. I've had it since I was 35. I haven't had a flare up in 15 years, so maybe I'm due.

Two things help - sometimes, Tommie Cooper knee supports and good compression socks.

Knee supports might be a good idea. Thanks.

Since that makes you 50, it very well could be a tendon issue

Take a few days off

It could indeed.

Yep- already told my captain to bring in the backup for Sunday's game.

Why couldn't you have injured your hands so that typing would be out of the question? I kid.

Seriously dude, competitive ice hockey at 50? Who does that. You need some sort of hockey named award. The Gordie Howe Memorial trophy or something. I have former football player knees so I know where you're at. Feel better.

There's a few of us who do, but not a lot. I still get lots of Player of the Game awards too. It's a combination of luck and hard work that I'm still in it. Luck, because anyone can have a career-ending injury at any time. Hard work, because I've been athletic all my life and can't stay out of the gym. A few more years, and I imagine I'll have to stop.

I'm 29 and take precautions with my body. At 50, I'd imagine it's better safe than sorry.

Yeah, I figured I'd sit out a game. I'll be back at the next one. I have another practice Tuesday. I'll see how it feels then.

I honestly do not know what i did. It started out about after 15 minutes getting a little sore. I just figured it was equipment not quite in the right place. Then it started to get really sore after 15 more minutes.

I ended having to stop and leave. I was worried what might happen if I kept playing. It is slightly swollen, but not bad. All I can figure is that I landed on it wrong with my knee pads slightly out of place. The only time I ever have knee issues like this is if a puck slips though the padding and nails me. That's what it felt like, but no puck hit me. Very strange. I'm gonna keep an eye on it the next few days.

Well if it feels like a puck hit you the good news is may just be sore tissue

Its a lot better today. Going to practice tomorrow, but sat out yesterday's game. We lost. I know its not really my fault, but I can't help but think it could have been different if I was playing. The guys aren't used to anybody but me in the crease. Make a change like that and it's usually kind of jarring.
