I need it because I'm about to spend the next three hours in A&E with a f**ked knee.

I would expect so. I can't bend it so I think it's torn meniscus or ligaments. Went on the stairs yesterday. The thing is, it's my good leg!

I feel your pain.!  Although when I did mine it was gradual rather than “going” at any one time..

I think I’ve got sciatica, I could hardly get out of bed this morning with it.

Injury prone, no point in offering you a new contract 😀

It may response to arthroscopy in that there is probably debris in the joint which has caused it to lock. Long term it will probably mean a knee replacement.

I injured mine a few months ago mate.
I was in severe pain for a few days but gradually it wore off.
I am seeing a surgeon tomorrow about it, he says it will just involve a keyhole job to shave off the torn piece of ligament.

HE SAYS..... should be ok to get back to playing in four to six weeks.
