Not this, but something similar
In the absence of an actual photo of my knee, here is a similar looking one from the interweb.
We played the only other undefeated team in our comp on Saturday and went down 1-0. They were a bunch of bogans from the backwoods of Mt Colah, in the way way north of Sydney. They were very rough and had people getting cards all over the shop. As our captain said in his match report, after on eheavy tackle:
'The ref, only 5 yards away, had no hesitation in sending him to the showers early. But as it was Sat (and they only shower on Tuesdays in Mt Colah), he just sat on the sidelines and sulked instead. '
As he also said in his report, I got 'hacked down viciously' by two of their idiots, and am slowly recovering from some nice infrapatellar bursitis (look it up people). Basically, my left kneecap had a friend for a few days.
Oh well, at least I will get bragging rights when our team meets up for the FA Cup final tomorrow. And we'll get them back next time.
PS: Due to the recent lack of comments, I am growing paranoid. If you read this blog, let me know by completing the poll. Please? Hello? -lo? -lo? -lo? Anyone out there? -ere? -ere? -ere?

OUCH !!!
infrapatellar bursitis = HAMSTRING STRAIN
Mechanism of injury:
1. Different nerve supply between short head of biceps femoris (common peroneal nerve) and the rest of the hamstring (tibial nerve) muscles may lead to asynchronous activation.
2. Usually on a direction or speed change
3. Acts as an eccentric brake during kicking
Signs:
1. Pain on passive stretch, especially after cooling down
2. Pain on contraction
3. Pain on palpation, may also be able to feel gap in muscle.
4. PAIN... hear that? PAIN.
Management
1. Immediate RICE... err... ICE?
2. Ultrasound
3. Deep frictions... hee hee
4. Eccentric exercise program
5. Stretching
6. Cycling
7. But not too soon now.
8. Sit down, grab a bevvie, watch Nerds FC
Enough for the superficial version, if you want the real answer go to:

Sorry... the first erroneous explanation of 'infrapatellar bursitis', although irrelevant, seemed too interesting to ignore... get well soon

Just because you’re paranoid, it does not mean they are not out to get you.
re: comments - dont be needy. be a man.

lack of comments is nothing personal... it's just that those pesky students on my prac have been sucking the life right out of me...
be assured, I still enjoy reading your blog

Thanks anonymous dad and frankie for your diagnoses/prognoses/treatments.
But hey, I did two weeks of medical school, so I have already prescribed myself the perfect medicine: Walk it off.
Thanks KT for your support, and Ms Leanne for your GENUINE support.
