Kinda waitng to see...since this has already happend once...but it was much worse....Do you guys think my cortisone shot wore off...I have heard people say that happens..they did shoot me in the back of the knee and after that alot of my problems went away.....but I woke up and it feels tender but maybe not as bad...I'm wondering if my split was just too much on my knee....

Jen..It took me about 7 months to be able to start to lift and about 10 to get my strength and weight back to what it was...........so Im hoping I just pulled it

Do you take any ibuprofen? Next time you may want to try docing with some pre work-out to help deter any inflammation in the joint. ICe after every leg work-out. You can also do recipriocal ice and heat. Ice 20, heat 20 and so forth. Try even doing some massage to loosen up the surrounding muscles.
