torn memeniscus tendon: anyone ever have one?

[chris302001]

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?

No.

tks, SS!

i've been averaging a 3 day turn around on WC requests, so i can't complain...just seems longer than it really is to me.

i can take a few steps unaided, no crutches...but then the side of my knee caps starts to throb.

with cruthes giving my partial support, no problems at all....just gotta watch the steps.

found out this morning i have one and have to have it fixed.....

I tore it and my acl. They let my meniscus scar up and operated on the acl, he cleaned up the meniscus during the surgery.

It took about six months to squat with good form.

I still put more weight on my other leg... my ACL/MCL/medial meniscus leg = teh not good. I was out 7 months.

I lost about 10% of my quad size on the leg within a week of wearing the brace, I stopped wearing it except when I slept. It sucked working back into squats, before the ski accident I was doing a 5x5 with 605. I started out squatting with 135....I gave up skiing after the accident.
