I tweaked my left knee training today. I was sparring with this purple belt chick from Chicago. I was going for a foot lock from the bottom, but my inside (left) leg wasn't hooked in her knee. Basically my shin was along her belt and she was pressing into me to prevent the foot lock. I started to extend her with my leg and I heard my knee pop.
It's sore on the lateral edge. I'm pretty sure my lateral collateral ligament took some damage, but I'm hoping it's not much. It's not swollen, and I can still walk, though with a limp, and it actually doesn't hurt that much to put pressure on it. Only when I extend my leg straight, or bend my foot inwards does it hurt.
It's funny because just an hour before they asked me if I was going to compete in the Nationals later next month. I told them I wanted to but I couldn't guarantee it because of work or if "other shit happens."
