Knees are even better when they're not torn to shreds. The doctor's initial diagnosis is a Bucket handle Meniscus tear and an ACL tear. What this translates to is two surgeries, first to fix the meniscus (which is preventing me from straightening my knee and causing all the pain), wait for that to heal and then fix the ACL. So, my recovery could be from 7-12 months. Not exactly the summer of Chicago I was looking for. Let me also comment on how painful the MRI was...I can not bend my leg past 70 degrees without immense pain, but for the MRI I had to take pain pills and strap my leg down at 0 degrees for 30 minutes straight. Not cool, although the doctor did comment on how good the scans were...fantastic.
Hopefully I can get my first surgery scheduled this week to get the meniscus healed and then I'll be able to go forth with the ACL. Wish me luck!
