It doesn't take much, I'm normally pretty careful because of it.

same thing happened to me i tripped on a downward slope on a track and smashed my right knee on a rock sticking out of the surface it is my bad knee and it swelled up real fast i always carry a stretchy pressure bandage for this knee thank god took me hour and half to get back to my truck that was half hour away normally drove truck back to palmy north only using one leg manual gearbox to mates place where i was staying he made me go to the hospital with him they xrayed the knee and were amazed i could even walk on it or got myself out of the bush.got some good pain killers and drove back to Whangarei next day using one leg 10 hour drive went to the surgen who wanted to give me a knee replacement and i said NO i am to young for that i was 51 years old went down the swimming pool and walked and run in the water for 6 weeks knee was stable enough to go back to work that was 10 years ago still working and hunting but it,s getting harder so next time it fucks out new knee i suppose got myself a PLB for my 60th birthday
