"You're young."

Seriously worried now, people. The goddamn knee is cracking and clicking in a way that it did before the surgery.

When it was torn.
When it dislocated twice a week on average.

This is bad. But Mr Physio felt it today and said it was fine. Then again - haven't I heard it before?

2004 (post surgery I (mini)): "You're young - you don't need surgery!"
2005 (post surgery II (big)): "You're young - you'll play again."
2006: "You're young - the problem is not in your knee, it's in your head!"
2008: "You're young - it'll be fine. Keep training."
2009: "Hm, that's strange. ACL definitely intact."
2010 (post surgery III (mini)): "ACL is torn, but you're young - you don't need big surgery!"
2011 (pre surgery IV (big) -new surgeon): "I've never seen a worse performed ACL reconstruction [insert laugh] I'm sorry for laughing, but I've never seen anything quite like it."

Now post surgery IV (big).
