Annotation:

This is both a quote from the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and a popular internet meme from the early 2010s. The meme is more commonly worded "arrow to the knee", but "arrow in the knee" is the wording used in the source material. I have seen both used in the wild.

The full quote is:
[#2939330] I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.
