"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

MAYBE Glucosamine could help you out. Im not sure on that so look it up. It's basically what lubes your joints
Man I hurt my knee in Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. It was a direct blow to the mat. My knee swelled up, I was not in alot of pain however. I continued going to brazilian jiu-jitsu class and after about 5 classes the knee got worse. It took the knee about 7 weeks to heal. I went to the Dr after about 5 weeks of pain and he said it was a bad sprain.
I asked him if he is sure i did not tear anything. He said no, because if you tore something you would be in alot of pain. If you are in alot of pain or heard a pop when the injury happened than I would suggest you see an ortho doc and have an MRI.
What I would do is after the knee starts feeling better.
Do leg extensions and leg curls every other day. GO light.
And do stretches for the knee twice a day. Doing this helped me greatly.
Fvcking injuries suck.
Good luck to you.

Yea injuries suck. I messed up my knee playing soccer. Now I'm out and watching months of squat gains slip away. I'm going to spend the whole summer on recovery and restrengthening it. Be patient and take it slow. The last thing you want to do is re-aggravate the injury or cause permanent damage. Get professional help if possible.

What did the doc say? Did you tear anything?

@ op and Falcon. Search eBay for knee wrap. Products by BREGG are good, here is manufacturer website.
No guarantees that a knee wrap or brace will help you. It helped me for a small injury I had years ago. They're pretty cheap and worth a try, IMO.

I didn't tear anything which is good. I just need to rest it up and lay off sports until it's fully healed. It's been getting better, I can go up stairs pain free now. Sometime during the summer I will start doing core and balance exercises.lookyoung said:What did the doc say? Did you tear anything?
I've tried a brace which hasn't helped much, not by the same company. Maybe I will try a knee wrap sometime.djSlvt said:@ op and Falcon. Search eBay for knee wrap. Products by BREGG are good, here is manufacturer website.
