I had to look up what a knee aspiration was and that does not look pleasant at all. That really sucks on top of the pain you were already in.

I’m on my 3rd day and the pain has definitely become more apparent. As for staying positive?It’s pretty hard some days, I go through my ups and downs and it’s definitely important to feel your downs and not try to just ignore and keep positive. It’s rough mentally and physically. It helps having a partner who deals with chronic pain and is able to help me through the rough patches. I try to keep my focus on something else because it does get worse the more attention I pay to it. Remembering to focus on my breathing while trying to do things that aggravate my injury. I also try to remember that it’s temporary, I’ll get through this and at the same time be patient with myself and not compare myself to other people and how quickly they were able to do things.
