lol...slipped on some spilled soybeans (about the size of ball bearings) on the floor at work...went up in the air a few inches, landed on my back/right side with my right ankle folded under my left knee. took 3 guys my size to get me up off the floor! (yeh, i know, "grace they name is rnch!)

my supervisor (thank Gaud, one of the few decent, kind good ones i have!) forcibly insisted that i go to the emergency room....filled out the worman's comp form while i was regaining my sense and sanity and actually pushed me out of the door!

two weeks after the initial injury the damn thing let loose..heard the "pop/snap" sound as it did.

i have NEVER felt pain that so intense, that severe! within 4 seconds i was drenched in sweat, lightheaded...hurt so bad i was nauseated.

i kept telling myself "don't throw up, don't pass out..you'll choke on your own vomit and die here on the floor".

Been there, done that, got the scar to prove it.

Serioulsy, a week before much of anything...2-3 weeks very limited mobility, 3-6 months before anything really strenuous.

For just a meniscus??? You must have had it repaired instead of shaved. You should be 100% as soon as your incision is healed. You can go balls to the wall a week after getting a shredded meniscus shaved. If they try to save it, it's another story.

update: workmans comp ok'd having an MRI done yesterday (friday). i was able to actually get it done on the same day of approval! now i have to wait out the 3 day weekend to find out the results.

i am healing up quickly, can take a few steps without screaming out words banned in the bible; can klump around the house on one crutch assisting the damaged knee.....wonder if this damn thing will heal up on it's own, without scoping it?
