My shocking surprise!!!!!!!

I just found out today that I torn my lateral meniscus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I go in for surgery on the 28 of this month!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want more info read the annotions or Post a comment.


Nov. 4: it has been one week since my surgery and I am doing well. It turns out I was lucky enough to just remove the tear I was also lucky because my meniscus is very large in comparison to the size of my knee so my meniscus is the normal size now. I am able to walk on my own but use crutches at school and plan to be off of them completely in two weeks.Will update later once I have recovered more.

It shouldn't the only thing that would affect your growth is if there was something wrong with the growth plate in your knee

oh i got another question. If i have to regain my muscle on my thighs. Will that effect my growth?

[gymnast216]

okayy thanks for the help. How long should i bike ride for?

Hmm well if you want to the doctor's and they gave you a knee brace and it doesn't hurt that I guess its ok just keep working on your muscle maybe try something a little easier on the knee like bike riding?

[iSK8FrEaK7777]

well i already did go to the doctors. they gave me a brace that has a rubber thing on it. So it will stop the grinding. but when i do lunges it doesnt hurt. it just feels weired you know? i have to do lunges cause i have no muscle in my thighs cause of my injury. I havnt been using my right leg for a while. sorry for my bad english grammer :P

Grinding in your knees is not a really good thing, I don't really know much but I do know that. I am pretty sure that grinding means that there isn't enough fluid in your joints, if it hurts when you do the lunges stop and go see a doctor... sorry if I wasn't much help =[
