Prior injury. Worried about boot camp.

[Camh1897]

So I am a Poolee and I have a prior knee injury from high school that has recently started to bother me. I train in CrossFit and it's been fine until now. I ship in February and was just wondering how worried I should be with my knee in boot camp? I know the humps and PT is tough, but that a lot of it is mental. I'm prepared to do whatever I have to do to ensure I make it through because failure is not an option. Just looking for some advice on the issue

Stop doing CrossFit....that's probably the reason for your knee bothering you again anyway

I don't feel like CrossFit is the issue because even if I did conventional movements at a golds gym or something I would still be squatting, etc which in turn would irritate it. And it's because there is a cyst that the doctor said "was fine", but now bothers me at times.

It's a gamble. And remember, ITB/MCT after bootcamp is actually harder (humps are longer and combat loads heavier). Lima Company at the School of Infantry stays full with injured Marines and some do...

Thanks Tennessee Top. My recruiter knows all about it and I plan to see a doctor once I move home to get an accurate diagnosis. I just hope it's something simple that won't affect leaving for boot camp because like I said it's the only goal right now. I know boot camp and training afterwards is beyond tough mentally and physically, I am just looking for any insight I can get. So I appreciate the reply.

STOP DOING CROSSh!T. That "workout regiment" is terrible on the joints. Doing Olympic Lifts with little to no prior training for time and reps. Seems like a great idea, what could go wrong?? Jesus I hate Cultfit. Seriously, fall back on the PT until you ship. Throw in some pullups, pushups, and short runs, but for the Love of God, stop doing Crapfit.
