<p>Well I have still been training and in the most part doing quick &#8216;FatBurnIn30&#8242; workouts (more videos of these to follow soon) but I have also been to see the specialist about my knee.</p>
<p>Things have moved extremely quickly.</p>
<p>I called on Monday 29th September to book an initial consult (having had a referral from my Doc), I was in that afternoon and sat down with the surgeon (<a href="http://www.johnhardy.co.uk">www.johnhardy.co.uk</a>).</p>
<p>He thought it was probably a meniscus tear but also could be a thing called &#8216;Hoffa&#8217;s fat pad syndrome&#8217;.  So he sent me of for an MRI scan (which I had the very next evening).  I returned to see Mr Hardy on Monday 6th and he confirmed that the scan did indeed show a medial meniscus tear and &#8216;Hoffa&#8217;s&#8217; synovial tag but also interestingly there is a cyst in the knee joint as well.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m of for surgery next Tuesday and should be back to full function and running in about 6 weeks.</p>
<p>I will of course keep you updated on my situation and my rehab progress.</p>
<p>Remember, train hard, train smart, make every rep count.</p>
