I just today had my knee pop while heel hooking on the problem Chocolate Bunny at Yosemite. I'm limping a bit and it's kinda painful. I can bend it fully just fine. I'm pretty nervous about it :( Hey, how did this turn out for you? I just today had my knee pop while heel hooking on the problem Chocolate Bunny at Yosemite.

Turns out your legs are far more important. Glad you like the new design, I hope that your foot is healing well!

I tweaked a hamstring and it was easily two months before it seemed solid. Take care out there!

I am walking almost entirely limp free at this point. I'm hoping that this is a sign that the injury is minor and not a sign that something worse is festering under the surface.
