I did a flutter kick set with the Arena Tech Pro Fins, with a lot of flexion. I did go faster:-) However, I now have searing knee pain in my right knee (had ACL repair three years ago in that knee). When my knee is somewhat flexed, I see stars-literally. At that point, my knee has no strength and can't support me, and I'm walking with a pain. The pain is always on the interior side of the knee, at the top of the knee cap. Top, left.
Most mornings, I wake up with no pain, and than I make a small movement that I'm unaware of, and POW, I'm reaching anxiously for my cane. I tried butterfly, and had to stop mid-way due to the sharp pain in my knee. The pain appears with a tiny amount of concave flexion.
I saw the ortho and he sort of dismissed me and sent me for a strength test and MRI (scheduled for this week). I've been looking online, and it sounds like it could be an MCL issue. Also, am icing and taking ibuprofen.
Any thoughts?
I think it might be worth mentioning to your ortho whether the pain occurred suddenly during the kick set or developed afterwards. MRI should tell the story. Good luck with it.
