The injured knee saga continues After hurting my left knee golfing 3 months ago, I eventually got an mri that was diagnosed as a sprained ACL So I was managing it as such, but put in for a second opinion from a different radiologist just to be sure cause my spidey senses were telling me this wasn’t an ACL injury (my job is literally sports medicine so I have pretty good spidey senses) Well second opinion on the MRI just came back and it reads as a meniscus tear on the posterior horn on the medial side The bad news is that this part of the meniscus absorbs the most force from weight bearing positions & knee extension The only good news is the tear appears to be small and is on the peripheral which has slightly more blood supply than the interior Meeting w/ ortho on Friday to go over treatment options, but this is definitely worse than an acl sprain. Surgery is likely, but need to figure out some stuff first Overall a huge bummer but as with all things, the only way is through
