Either torn my cruciate ligament, or fractured my kneecap. I'm going to be in a full leg cast for 6 weeks :(

Unlucky mate :cry: Maybe you should get them to set the leg cast to '3000 rpm max position' then you can run her in whilst on the mend :clap:

Get well soon

Gutted mate....!

On the medical side, bit of a difference between symptoms of cruciate ligament injury and fractured patella/torn patella tendon!

no problem, stick one end of one of your crutches on the accelerator pedal, and put it under your chin...lean forward to accelerate.

hey presto, your driving.

Apparently the X-ray didn't show up any breaks, but there is blood and fat under my patella, which apparently is the type of swelling consistent with a broken bone. However I also had symptoms of a torn cruciate ligament, so I've got to have an MRI scan to find out exactly what it is.
