Hey! I’m also poling for 4 years. I have very similar symptoms in my right knee for over a year. Over the time the pain went away so I can bend it normally, but the top of the knee is still extremely sensitive to any type of pressure. I did some research. I think what I have is knee bursitis. So I went to Kaiser last week and did some X-Rays. Still waiting on the official diagnosis, but the doctor mentioned that a cortisone shot might be needed to fix that… Hope your knee gets better!!

But it only happens because it’s your first time in such setting. The more you do the comp team thing… the more you are forced to run your piece rain or shine in front of your peers.. the more you are running your piece at open poles with the bunch of strangers…then the magic thing happens! You stop caring. Like at all. And you start only focusing on yourself. Everything else becomes irrelevant.
So the key thing for me was to keep doing it despite feeling VERY uncomfortable and reluctant. Treat it like a pesky item on your daily todo list, like say, filing taxes. I hate filing taxes but it needs to be done, I mean, Uncle Sam doesn’t take ‘Im kinda not feeling it today’ excuses. Lol.
Eventually you’ll stop caring at all and just go and do it, do some little formal exchanges with your peers, then go on with your day, no stress. Hope that helps! Just keep at it and don’t give it much thought!
