Snails - Response on Threads Part 8

[tiburonfirst]

While that was an uncalled for comment on your part, I understand.

The doctor agreed that he believes it is a lateral meniscus tear. Obviously, that can't be confirmed without an MRI. He gave me some exercises to do and scheduled an appt. for me in a month to go over my situation. And probably schedule an appt. for a MRI.

He is very pro-surgery with meniscus tears and I believe that's what he'll want to do if the MRI confirms a tear. I'm not convinced surgery is the way to go based on what I've watched and read from other orthopedic surgeons. I know i'm getting beyond the tips of my skis. I need to chill and let the situation play out. Regardless, I will get a second opinion before i go under the knife.

Happy afternoon, almost everyone.

Is if friday 5pm yet?

at least he's not trying to rush you into surgery. double-check on those exercises if you can

fingers crossed

At least I can walk around without crutches--slowly at that. the exercises are really nothing more than stretching. there are quite a few PTs on utube that have numerous exercises for a torn meniscus. he has no problem with me doing that. Like i said, he's pro-surgery with this injury. If i do decide to have it operated on, it won't be until Oct. when i get back from florida.

Back to the gym on Monday. Yay!!! Obviously, staying away from putting too much pressure on the knee and no leg exercises. I do have 2 different knee "braces" coming which according to reviews have help alleviate pain and pressure on the knee.

This is usually dinner x. lol I'm still full from that donut and taco bell. lol Only having a protein shake tonight.

Be safe everyone... well, almost everyone.
