It seems that if anything is going to stop me playing cricket or at least stop me from bowling it's going to be my knees.
Back in February I mentioned that the left knee felt like it was the more susceptible to further issues, but after the first game of the season where I've only bowled 5 overs, the right knee is the one that feels sore and the soreness is in the back of the knee rather than the front and it's still sore 24 hours later. Not swollen, just sore I might roll it and see if that make it feel any better, but I check to see if that's a good idea first!
8th May 2021
Played a couple of weekends on the trot and both games got through with no real flare ups or swelling, but some soreness and feeling of being 'Full' in the back of the knee, sort of a water on the knee feeling. Was scheduled to play this weekend (8th), but the game was called off thankfully as towards the end of the week my knee grew ever more sore with some limited swelling which I kind of reckon would be described as possibly being 'water on the knee'. Looking at all the description of what it might be it seems most likely to be connected to the popletius. Anyway it's the right knee and it's sore rather than painful and at the moment (8th of May) it feels as though I'd be unlikely to play this coming weekend.

I need to use inner soles with a higher arch.
