Probably going to get some work done on me...

My left knee (the one I tore the ACL in 1.5 years ago) decided to cause some problems again. I slipped on some leaves, some wet cement, and in the shower, all within a week or two. After that, my knee swelled up and I couldn't bend it very easily.

Anyways, saw the doctor today and he said I likely didn't re-tear my ACL, but I probably tore some cartilage. I get an MRI on Monday, and he'll know for sure what's going on. But at this point, he said it's likely I'll need to get surgery.

I never had bad knees until I tore my ACL.

At least the doctor cleared me to keep working out and stuff.

Goin' to the body shop 'eh? Don't let them talk you into them "refurbished" knees... they're garbage. Get a new one or simply get your's fixed. j/k, I hope for the best... i.e. I hope you won't need surgery after all.

lol

When I first tore my ACL, and the doctor started talking about cadaver tissue, I was grossed out. Now though... I just want the damn thing fixed so I don't have to worry about screwing it up more (it hurts A LOT, and it slows me down).

I don't suppose the Best Buy plan would offer a "similar spec" replacement?

Get only OEM parts! Those cheap knock-offs just don't hold up. Still got your owner's manual?

It'd've swole up bigger in Texas.

Seriously, take it easy and listen to the nice dokker. I really don't like the thought of knee surgery (any surgery, really...) but like less the non-working stuff.
