You aren't much older than me, correct? My cousin is my age and he loved hooping with us but had to give it up about 8 years ago due to his knee. He blew it out in a freak accident as a teen. It got to the point that the day after hooping, it would swell up like a grapefruit and he could hardly walk.
My only issue is that I have sprained both my ankles within the past year. And I'm not talking the slight sprain where you just walk it off. I'm talking crutches. Luckily, I only used crutches for a few days and I was back to hooping in about 2 weeks each time. But this last time I did wear my ankle splint while hooping for a long time after I sprained it. Its been about 3 months or so and I still feel it a little bit.
