I think I tore my meniscus
Playing basketball. My regular physician recommended me a specialist. I thinking homie is about to go to work on my knee. He rubs on my knee for like 2 minutes and says I most likely tore my meniscus. It takes 2 minutes of rubbing to get that information? Then he scheduled me to get a MRI for tomorrow. What the hell was the specialist for.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
What did you expect him to do?

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
When I tore my meniscus they checked where the pain was coming from and did various range of motion tests from what I can remember.
Did an MRI to confirm and then used that to determine whether it could be repaired or if it needed to be removed.
Had surgery to repair and then crutches for a couple months.

I guess that's good you aren't having pain. I hurt mine during football and had intense pain at first. I went to the doctor immediately and got some fire pain medicine, so it wasn't bad at all after that :pimp:

It doesn't take much more than 2 minutes moving your knee around to make a general diagnostic.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
Glad to see you're taking this so well and cracking jokes.
Let me break it down for you, if you're over 30 your basketball days might be done :( if you're mid 20s, you might grow a vajina like Rose has :(

Good thing you saw your specialist early. Do your rehab early and consistently.
Stopping playing ball can mess with your body. When I tore my meniscus I was misdiagnosed at first and my alignment got all messed up, ended up with chronic knee/foot issues. Got to learn about stuff you only learn about when it hurts like the Iliotibial bands and the iliopsoas
Good luck.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
I only play ball occasionally so that's not a problem. Rehab might be biggest problem. Hopefully it's short and sweet.

Playing ball is great for keeping your inner leg muscles strong. My issue was after I was out of commission for a while.....and I was having trouble just walking to corner for a while.....my knees went from being aligned and both pointing straight ahead to 12 O'Clock, went to point to 10 and 2.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
The move. I was at the top of tue key than went to my left toward the baset. I planted my knee and I guess me knee decided to stay while I continued to the hoop. No contact with amyone else.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
Knee injuries are no joke, when I did mine, had ACL, PCL, lateral and medial tears all in one, ruined my knee's completely, could never play sports at a resonable level ever again and it's looking like early onset arthritis in my late 30's.
Get them looked after as best as you can and do your rehab right is all I can say.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
[QUOTE=Kaspah]What'd you specifically do during basketball when you messed up your leg?
Running, jumping, landing?
Really sorry to hear about your injury man. I hope everything turns out alright.[/QUOTE]
Usually you tear your meniscus when you twist and turn. It could happen if you land wrong.
For me, I chased down a lose ball and when I stopped and turned back to the play, I just felt intense pain, and I just threw the ball back and limped away. I knew instantly something was wrong.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
All a specialist needs to do is give you a Thessaly's and Mcmurrays test then send you for an MRI

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
Just had surgery. Best sleep I ever had. I think I dosed off mid conversation. I'm still a little high.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
Lol a combo ACL/Men rehab will be anything but short and sweet. It will be quite painful and long.

Re: I think I tore my meniscus
I almost cried today at therapy.

Lol, ripping scar tissue is painful. I hated laying on my stomach with knee hanging over the edge and my therapist straightening it out.

I had a weird pain on my balls. Is the specialist gonna rub it for 2 minutes too before he decides to give his 'medical' evaluation?

This happened to me, except much more painful.
The doctor was a hot blonde and she started squeezing my balls so hard. I almost cried. I told this Mf'er my balls can't handle this pressure. She said "well, we gonna handle it today!"
