Hello everybody,
At the end of the first stop of the World Championship, I went to Barcelona to get into the FC Barcelona’s medical services.
When I arrived at El Prat airport, I went directly to the Camp Nou where doctors Canal and Endolç were waiting for me. After medical tests, they diagnosed me a sprain of the internal lateral ligament, grade 1. Relatively, it was good news! No more talking about the meniscus broken!
That was what they diagnosed in Germany. The symptoms indicating the rupture of the meniscus was caused by a muscular contraction. The muscles contraction act like a defense mechanism, and prevented the rupture of ligaments. I told the doctors that wanted to compete in a week in Tarifa, and said I was going to be very close. We need at least 15 days, to recover an injury like mine. We were looking the best way that I could compete in the next event. The solution is to use a kneepad to hold and limit the injured ligament.....................
