The Knee Report

CIWEC clinic

I guess these things are also part of a trip. My knee started hurting during the Annapurna circuit trek. I used an elastic knee brace/support, but after two weeks I just couldn't wear it on. Few days later I took a look at both my knees, finding out that one is bigger than the other. So time went by and I expected the swelling to pass, but it refused to do so.

Today, almost two weeks after the end of the trek, I went to a clinic. The staff was Western, very nice and understanding.

The analysis is that nothing is terribly wrong. The knee is inflammed from the effort and needs time to heal. Other than that it is perfectly fine. I was concerned that I would have to come back home to deal with it (Which also has the benefit of seeing you guys back home a lot earlier than originally planned). At least now I feel much better. I hope it will pass in the next few days and I will be as good as new (almost...)
