If your knee hurts, better get it checked out


Growing up I was always fond of sports. I tried my hand at everything I could - from field hockey to rugby, I was willing and able to sample whatever my Physical education teachers threw at me. I soon realised my passion for soccer and played the game passionately for may years. When I was 18, however, I sustained a serious knee injury which effectively sidelined me from the field forever.

During a particularly aggressive tackle, I somehow managed to damage my knee, causing it swell up immediately. Months of passing in and out of the physiotherapist's office left me very despondent and unfortunately my youthful I'm-invincible-attitude didn't save me.

Thing is, if your knee hurts, you ought get it checked out by doctor immediately. Have a look at this article about knee injuries for more information.
