Question: What is the worst knee injury you have ever had!?!?!?
Answers:
ok ill try to give the short version but there is alot of details!.!.!.!.
The worst injury that i have ever had is the one that i have now!. My knee!. I origanally injured it in June of 07 while playing beach volleyball(partial tear to MCL), i had to go through several months of PT, had 3 cortisonne injections(just to help control the swelling), and 2 MRIs(one 10 days after injury and the second 3 months after cause my knee wasnt getting any better)!. After the second MRI showed nothing new i was cleared(with much convincing) to participate in competitive cheerleading, but couldnt tumble!.!.!. and had to continue with PT and followup every 4 weeks with the ortho!.!.!. In january the possiblity of surgery was finally brought up and i was to meet with the surgeon in February, well it was at that time that i was convinced again to try PT one more time, but with phono(cortisone and ultrasound) which didnt really help, i was scheduled to go back on March 19th!.
Which brings me to my current knee issue and reinjury:
March 17th my knee collasped and when it did i felt this horrible ripping within my knee, that was followed be horrible pain, massive swelling and the inability to bear any weight due to the instability!.!.!. I was convinced to go to the ER(rather then wait the two days for my appointment) where i was put in an immobolizer and back to NWB(bye bye cheer season)!.!. when i went to my appointment on the 19th i was sent for a 3rd MRI!.!. but the results were "inconclusive" according to the radiologist!.!.!. so i was sent to a specialist(3 weeks post injury), who immediatly saw the problem:
1!. retore MCL(the only thing that actually "showed" on MRI)
2!. either partial or completely torn ACL(couldnt tell because of obstruction on MRI and too much swelling to be sure based on physical exam)
3!. chondral fracture(cartiage ripped away) on patella(hello obstruction)
I am now in PT trying to regain some ROM and decrease the swelling(finally gone down) before having surgery!.!.!. I go back to the specialist on Monday to find out when surgery will be happening
it has been 5 weeks and my knee is still VERY unstable!.!.!.
this is by far the worse injury that i have hadWww@Answer-Health@Com
