Well, after putting it off for about a year I decided I really should see a doctor about my knee (I slipped on ice in December 2012, I was waiting for it to stop hurting and buckling but it just didn't) I finally got myself checked out.
Although he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, he did narrow it down to some sort of soft tissue damage under my knee cap, he said probably damaged cartilage, ligaments, or both. I've got an appointment with a sports medicine guy in a while and my doctor suggest I take some time off martial arts to help me heal. I'm still going to train my karate at home but I'm taking it easy on kicking with my right leg and strenuous training in general.
I'm not sure how long my hiatus is going to be, but hopefully not too long. Them again, I'm gonna do my best to ovoid degenerative conditions at the age of 19 so I'm taking as much time off as I need.
