Good luck with that knee!!!!

MAN i had the SAME thing happen minus i had the Platelia tendon tore my junior year of high school had that surgery ... my freshman year or college got ACL tear on same knee had surgery school payed for it (luckily) so i got to come back and play the other 3 years until I tore my ACL, PCL, and MCL on my left knee my senior year and was out for the rest of the year and end of my career.....but fortunately .... they honored my scholarship for the rest of my school year so I didnt have to pay for anything....

I had both knees done in the 80's, one shoulder done in 1991 and the other shoulder done in 2003. I have so much plastic in me I can't get near a stove
All that rough living when I was younger racing anything that had an engine comes back to bite you when you get older.

This is my 3rd surgery on this right knee The first time I tore the meniscus playing ball the second time I tore it in half and it flipped upside down and locked my knee in place. The doctor at that time did an emergency surgery to fix it but was short on time do to leaving on vacation that night so needless to say he didn't fix everything he should have at the time I waited 6 years to get it don't right What Doc Perry told me he done was he repaired the meniscus disk again, cleaned the Bone ends, 2 hamstring grafts to repair the torn ACL with a stainless steel screw to the bone and cleaned as much arthritis in there he could.
By the way yes it hurts

There's not a minute in any day where i don't feel pain in my knee's. Guess that's from being such a little guy.

Chaz i didn't know you were goin under again, sorry bud.

Is that thing hooked to your knee like a constant ice pack ? I can bring you some dry ice! LOL

Curtis

BTW, get well soon. You're still going to IRP ?

Hang in there Chaz! I injured my knees on a dirt bike and "lived" with it until I woke up one morning and couldn't straighten out my leg, ....18 years later! Then I had both knees fixed one year apart. After the first surgery I didn't do those silly exercises, and wound up in physical therapy. I learned from that mistake, LOL.

Hope ya feel better fast, naturally that is
