:blink: I am still kinda like huh??? but i got my results, I tore my meniscus ( spelling) almost in half, and i have a "mass" behind my knee cap and almost hidden, around the size of a golfball!!! GO ME!!!!!!!!! :frustrate I mean what the hell???????

Recommindation, see a sports injury doctor and surgury!!! No running till than, but right now my feeling is why the hell not? why not make it freakin worse and go in knowing its messed up bad!!! ( its the stubborn in me).......I dont remember having these issues when I was overweight, maybe i should go back to eating bon bons and i should gain 1000pds....:( and even that i cant do right........ :rant: :frustrate

Any pain Wrangle ?
 
Any ideas what the mass might be? Meniscus tears can be cleaned up easily arthroscopically with resonable recovery periods (as opposed to waiting until all totally f****d up.) The golf ball sized mass sounds a little disturbing though. Don't be stubborn and go see an orth guy. You may be back better than ever before Spring arrives.

Don't make it any worse, and yes you can make it worse. Knee injuries are no joke, and I have seen some ppl have total knee reconstructions and never be the same.
 
madman, yes I am in pain.....I teach in an attic, Its the leg i drive with, hell I walk and i am in some pain...can i live with it? yes I can.....thank god i have a high tolerance to pain......everynight i sit with an ice pak on my inflated knee, and wait for it to not be 3 times it size.... Surgury for me now is out of the question...I will go see the Sports dr as I know i need to do something......<sigh>

That's it I admit defeat, I quit.....I am going to sit my ass on the couch and eat till I puke!!!!!!!!! ( and even that i can't do right)

BPF, smartass!!!!! :rasp:

I have a partially torn meniscus and have had it for at least 3 years. I opted not to have it surgically corrected. I have competed in biathlons, do squats, etc even after it was damaged. However, your tear sounds worse than mine. :(
 
Wrangle any reason why no surgery?..They do arthroscopic now but you may not need it..Check this out.............(PS: after everything you have been through I dont see this keeping you down)..But I agree it must suck big time, hang in there Girl,you are strength to alot of us.
