Godsmack Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 On saturday night i took a side step to the left attempting catch a football, without moving my right leg. My right knee rolled into the inside and i fell. I straightened it out and went inside. After the girl massaged my knee we left for my pad so i could get my brace and go to oktoberfest. (i know, i know LOL).............anyways i feel decent all night. I wake up sunday morning, after removing my brace to sleep, and realize i cannot stand without my knee trying to roll. I throw the brace back on and go to the ER. The docs finally xray it and claim they see nothing but an MRI would be better. I get given crutches and an imobilizer. They say my MCL is prolly damaged. Today i go to the doctor on post and findout from her playing with it for an hr or so she believes i severly strained my MCL, prolly tore my quad a bit and the knee cap that has been bothering me while running over the past 2 years, now apperantly has no cartilege left. So MRI will be this week, and hopefully they will fix me. Also, I lost my Honduras assignment, so I am stuck in AZ awhile more. J Quote "No poor dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

rizzy71 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 that sucks, my right knee had a catch in it everytime i moved it, then i tore my meniscus playing football and when they did my MRI they said there was so much arthritis build up that it was making it catch and im only 18(17 then). I had part of my meniscus cut out and the arthritis grinded off then they cauterized it so it wouldnt get worse, then they had to move my knee cap back because it was slid over to the outside.

jhmeg2 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) Hey godsmack.... I feel your pain. When I was in ( USMC ), I blew out my back. I was told that it was just a muscle spazam, motine an hydrate... anyhow, after about 4 years I finaly got an MRI. Got the back surgury, an the next, an the next... Thought It was ok, so I startedto get back into my life, well I went down again, this time broke my wrist and tore my ACL, and Miniscus. Well the ER said its just a strain, your knee will be better before your wrist heels. I am getting my knee surgury finaly this winter, almost 2 years after it was torn... I remember when I was in the Corps, all the fricken light duty, no fun. Good luck!!!
