MY THROBBING KNEE & THE MRI ADVENTURE

Some days, your body decides to teach you a lesson. 

Recently, my right knee started acting up; sharp pain, locking and general grumbling I could no longer ignore. After a few gentle stretches, I realized this was not something to brush off.

I went straight to my orthopaedic, who ordered an MRI. The MRI experience itself deserves a story; cold room, loud machines and the quiet buzz 

of the unknown. I found myself silently praying to my mom, dad and sisters (who apparently have a magic wand) and when I walked out of the MRI, 

the pain had eased.


The results were informative but manageable:-

Tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus

Lateral collateral and popliteus ligament strain

Mild cartilage injury under the kneecap

Early degenerative changes


The doctor then advised physiotherapy, rest and gentle knee management. No surgery and importantly, I can continue teaching yoga with care.


Takeaway? Listening to your body, taking early action and responding with humor and mindfulness makes all the difference. 


Small injuries don’t define you; your choices do! And yes… a little prayer to the family magic wand doesn’t hurt either! 😊✨🪄
