rhb Oct 2018 11:56am, 30 Oct 2018 1,116 posts	0 rhb Racing at weekend gone and missed a step, hyperextending my knee. Loud crack & sharp pain quickly subsided and I was able to continue and finish with just occasional twinge if close to fully extending knee. Iced Sunday and feels ok if not 100%. We've only had a brief chat in passing but the look on my physios face from my description of the immediate noise & pain and how it feels now (weak, slightly tender, but no swelling or bruising) makes me think it's not good, although defo not as bad as it could have been. Anyone here done similar & can share experience of how long recovery took / what was involved?
