Today, in an effort to be more active, I jumped out of bed ready for a morning jog. Or, that was the plan. Instead, I twisted my knee so badly standing up, it's now locked, and I can't move it. So much for activity. FML

Don't be discouraged OP. I've lost over 80 lbs and that has come with a few injuries. It's great that you're getting started, so don't let this unmotivate you. If it's too bad, a doctor visit might be needed. Good luck.

I was once an adventurer, but I'm unable to do as much, since the day a projectile hit my knee.

Until your knee is healed avoid physical activity but don't lose your motivation

You should never, ever jump after resting for so long. Same reason warming up is mandatory before exercising.

Drink lots of water and do stretches so you can stay loose for your activity so you your muscles aren't tight and don't lock up.

Sorry to hear it OP. Something similar happened to me, different circumstances but same result. If your knee is still locked after a couple of days, get X-rays and/or a MRI scan...you may have ripped your meniscus & if so, the chewed up cartilage that's stuck in your knee joint is making it impossible to bend or straighten. If that's what your issue is, ask about repairing the cartilage or using donor tissue vs. completely removing it...I couldn't afford to repair it so they removed it. It was fine after the surgery but now that it's been 10 years, my knee is all f*cked up & arthritic. I'll probably need knee replacement surgery in the next few years which I'm not looking forward to especially since I'm still young (f*ck MY life!!). I hope you don't have a bucket-handle meniscus tear like I did but thought I'd share so you can make informed & better choices. Good luck OP!

Based on this comment I'd figure you can't get any girls, so the only chick banging you would do is shooting baby chickens. So please take your animal cruelty off this site before we call Peta on you.
