Well, I seem to have screwed up my left knee this past Monday. It appears as if switching up my typical free-standing bodyweight squats with ones done against the wall with a physioball is a bad idea, as the lack of true balancing seems to allow me to lapse into poor form without fully realizing it. Apparently my knee didn't appreciate that type of shearing force, so I've set up a doctor's appointment for this coming Tuesday, where I can hopefully get at least a general idea as to what I've done to myself. He or she will only be a general practitioner, but they can at least assess the obvious and prescribe an MRI if need be. Hopefully it's nothing severe, but I'll do the usual: hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
As the saying goes, two steps forward, one step back. Or perhaps it was the other way around?

Sorry about your setback, Istari..I'm sure you will beat this just fine.
Thanks, Gil. I haven't gotten in to see an orthopedist yet, but my money is on a medial meniscus tear of some kind. I'll update the blog as soon as I know more.
