It is a slow process and the physio said that it would take the full 9 months to heal. The first 4.5 months were as <span class=\"yiv9937370085grame\">expected<\/span> and I made steady progress. However, as I increased the intensity of exercise, I went through something of a reversal which the physio said was to be expected. There was swelling and pain in the knee area but no damage. That has recovered after resting the knee for a few weeks and I&#8217;m now starting to scale-up the exercise intensity so hopefully no more reversals!<\/p><p class=\"yiv9937370085msonormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"yiv9937370085msonormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: left;\">The physio said that I should be able to start padel at a light level next time I see him which is in a couple of weeks so fingers-crossed!
