During a roll, I heard a pop in my left knee—the same knee that was already recovering from a Muay Thai kick a couple of months ago. I took a week off from rolling, hoping it would settle down, but it still feels inflamed even on a normal day of walking; it starts to feel a little swollen, and I will be limping by the end of the day. So, I’m taking a month away from BJJ to give my knee the time it deserves to heal. It’s frustrating; sometimes I question myself if I should just push through.
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s dealt with a knee injury: how long did recovery take, and what helped you get back?
Thank you from a 5-month-old white belt.
