~Where Emotions Are Expressed...~

My knee had produced some excruciating pain throughout the past week. I'm getting a little worried now. Last Thursday, i was fooling around with a classmate when he suddenly jabbed me on the knee spot on the exact location of my injury. The moment his hand landed on my knee, mind-boggling pain erupted from the injury. I clutched my knee in agony and writhed on the floor. The pain was unimaginably painful. Tears started to well up in my eyes much due to the extreme pain. My classmates gathered around me, curious on what was happening. Several of them asked me whether i was ok. I didn't answer, but my actions during that time answered them, crystal clear.

I tried to get up upon my feet a few times, but my leg just won't seem to hold and the pain got even worse when i tried to put weight on my injured leg. The pain was intense and i cried out in agony a couple of times. My classmate who struck me on the leg apologised profusely. He didn't realise that i was injured when he playfully jabbed me. I forgave him but he still felt guilty on befalling the unimaginable pain on me. I was on the floor for five minutes before the pain resided sufficiently enough for me to get on to my feet. I staggered while trying to walk. I eventually had to settle on limping as my way of moving around. I winced every single time i put pressure on my right leg. I would have had to limp down the steps of the staircase in much discomfort if not for my teacher who saw the seriousness of my condition. He allowed me access of the lift that was only allowed for staff and cleaning staff.

The pain lingered throughout the whole day. I had training the following day, and a few of classmates who were also my soccer buddies insisted that i pay a visit to a physician and not to go training. But i love soccer and i am fastidious. I wanted experience of training and i knew that i can get ample of experience from a single training session. Plus the temptation to kick the ball was overpowering. I ignored their advice and attended the training session anyway. We had a drill where we were suppose to overlap and run a great deal of a distance. I wanted to run, and i had my chance when it was my turn to overlap.

I ran slower than my usual speed though. My knee slowed me down. Every step i take, a short pain ran through my whole leg, but most concentrated on knee. Not only was my running effected, my accuracy was and power were sometimes affected as well. The last exercise was sprinting drills. I did the first two but couldn't take anymore of the rapidly growing pain. The four-month old injury was hurting much worse than before my classmate hit it. Ever since that training, I tried my best not to pressurise my knee. It took much effort to prevent any sudden pain. Today was no different. I tried to walk normally and not wince on every step i take. I successfully achieved it, but knew that i cant possibly take anymore after a lengthy period.

During a seminar this evening, my knee unexpectedly sent a stabbing pain a few times throughout the whole seminar. I was in great discomfort throughout the seminar, though i tried not to show hints of being in pain. I was concentrating not to apply pressure that will trigger the pain of my nowadays delicate knee. Nearing the end of the seminar though, the pain dissipated for a few minutes, but occasionally acted up.

The pain since Thursday has been much more painful than usual. I am getting very anxious. I hope that my knee is only in a minor state of injury. I really hope that my knee would not hamper my goal of being in the school soccer team...
