Grade one tear. Has anyone had to deal with this shit?

Self healing, a team mate had it, really nothing he could do besides trying some sort of injection.

He kept lifting as well!

i had it once and had a couple cordazone shots seemed to help, but try not to have surgery if possible.

Cortisone , that small a tear should heal on its own. Been there done that during football.

the cortisone just relieves pain and swelling , but it can weaken the cartilage and soft tissues in the knee itself in some after prolonged use .. so it can be a bit of a catch 22 for some

i had it done to both of my shoulders from injurys, and the dr said he rather give me the shots and see what happens rather than doing surgery, it helped out alot. and no surgery .

Well it took a good 3 months to heal. After talking to both my nieces (LVN and RN). They recommended that I wrap it a specific way with athletic tape for a week just to limit my movement. I then moved on to ktape along with rehab. And for shits and gigs I decided to take some NPP. Sidenote: Do not do leg extensions. This will only make it worse. I found out the hard way.
