I met with surgeon over at Medsport today. My orthopedic doctor thought that my meniscus may be torn. Thankfully, according to the surgeon, it is not. However, with that said, he has me in an immobilizer brace with a locking hinge on it and now I can’t bend my left leg AT ALL. It sucks. I have to be in this until June 22. He even wants me to sleep in it. I do get to take it off to shower and during that time that it is off, I have to do some exercises to keep my leg from getting stiff. We’re trying to avoid surgery at all costs. So at least that is good. Though this summer is going to suck yet again with this damn knee issue.
Apparently the groove that my knee cap is supposed to sit in is pretty shallow leaving it wide open to dislocate. Most people has a much deeper groove and dislocation does not really pose much of an issue. I guess I’m just lucky like that 😉
Hope everyone has had a good Monday!
