Question:

Hey i need serious help...knee pain...????

Ive had acl reconstruction a year ago and the doctor also told me that i had a partially torn meniscus but he left it alone as he told me it was "supposed" to heal...

But now, i still have knee pains and a clicking sound when my joint moves. The doctor say is fine and that is because my muscles are not strong enough...

Im just have a feeling his pulling this one off, i mean a year and the pain is still there...im 18 years old and wanna play sports... My knee dont give way now but still feels uncomfortable and pain... I really dont know, i wont have enough money for another operation( and im NOT going to go through the pain of rebulding my muslces etc ) man this is ****...cant the doctor just reconstruct the meniscus the first time i had operation? what am i supposed to do now?

Answers:

Although you would need a doctor's examination, it still sounds to me like you need that meniscus shaved or something. To me, the clicking sound you're hearing most likely is your torn meniscus. At this point I would get a second opinion.

Do you have insurance? Why do you talk about having enough money for another surgery? If this is truly malpractice by the first guy, you might probably get everything paid for at the end.

In the meantime, do keep your muscles strong. Trying to strengthen them in the future will be harder.
