After years of battling with a transfer from one service to the RM the date is finally near!
Passed PRMC September19 and was due to head down to CTC to start RT in March19. COVID hit and soon put Transfers within the military on hold so that was the end of my start date in March19.
Transfers opened up again however as a year had passed since last September my PRMC was out of date and was given an ROP date in November.
Training all going well building up to ROP! Start of September on a slow 8mi run around 10/11 minutes into the run my left knee was in agony (lateral knee pain, only when running) I stopped straight away and called it a day I thought maybe it was just a twinge or a niggle. Gave it 3-4 days of rest from running just some cycling and some S&C work then tried a run again. Same again 11mins into the run exact same knee pain. Got booked in with the physios at my unit and was diagnosed with ITBs and started a rehab program including, strengthening exercises, stretches and myofascial release.
I have been Carrying out the rehab program for around 4 weeks now and my knee feels worse than what it was at the start, pain is now there when walking and occasional when I’m resting/doing nothing.
Do I defer my start date and wait till I am fully recovered or do I get as fit as I can grizz it out and pray that it’s going to hold out during ROP and then deal with the issue whilst at CTC?
I don’t know what CTC policy would be regarding this matter or if the Med Centre on my unit and the RRU would be able to pass my information on to the Med Centre at CTC and carry on with the Rehab full time whilst down there. I’m guessing it is a big ask but the only reason I ask is if I return back to my unit I will have to work as normal and will have to carry on the Rehab in my own time as I will still have to carry out my current role in my trade.
Hopefully a member on this forum can help me out, or maybe one of the Serving Royals that use this might be able to shed some light on the matter. I’ve never felt so frustrated this has taken long enough to get where I am now and just want to crack on and get into RT.
Thanks, apologies for the length of the message.
