Thanks for all of the good wishes everyone!

Yeah, within the next couple of weeks I go in to see if I need surgery for miniscus(spelling) tears.

 

Lol that's what I had done I blew my meniscus up and tore my mcl and partially tore my acl it sucked!!

 

If it's just a repair you'll be out and about in no time. If they start messing with the ligaments then you're down longer. Just listen to what they say and listen to your body. YOu'll know how hard to push.

I had the exact same surgery 2 hours after another dude. We rehabbed at the same spot. I was walking in with no crutches and doing super hard work outs with lunges and side hops and things like that while this dude was coming in on crutches and limping around still trying to do flexibility stretches. Everyone is different. I had a goal... and so do you. I figure you got 6 weeks man. Then it's snow time!

 

I am terrible with surgery and blood. haha. The whole grogginess, I plan to pass out multiple times.

Kinda considering on waiting until snow season is over!

 

Yeah but if it's just meniscus I'd get it done now.. I had my surgery on oct 5 last year and didn't get to ride until feb and still had to take it easy, if it's just a meniscus and you listen to your doctor I'd do it now so you can be 100% for most of winter

 

Exactly.

If it's just a meniscus repair it could seriously just be a couple weeks and you're good to go and 100% by christmas. So you'll have the whole season of riding and felling good. If you wait you'll be in pain all winter and risk doing more damage... and when it comes to meniscus you want to stop that tear as soon as possible. Otherwise you'll end up with nothing and an early introduction to arthritis.

if it's a major structure repair... I'd wait. LOL!

I got my knee surgery at the very end of one season and missed the first half of the next season. Was a PITA to recover from. Spent 2 months with my leg not moving at all. I'd probably opt for a different style of surgery next time.

So yeah... get rolling on it asap if it's just a clean up deal.

 

Here's the issue.... I have put it off for.. Going on three years now. It was a hockey related injury that I put off.

 

Yes I definitely agree knees suck still though!:/

 

So did they say it's just a repair or are they worried about a ligament issue? I put mine off for like 10 years. When it went pop... it went pop. I wish I would have just fixed it the first time.

If it's just repairing a small tear in the meniscus you got nothing to worry about man. If that stuff tears and becomes a flap you could be looking at some major issues.

 

Have an appointment coming up and I'll get full details of everything. Hopefully can post x ray shots. Haha.

 

Ha my meniscus was torn straight threw and folded in half so my femur and fibula or tibia (one of the 2) got wedged together it sucked! But fully recovered now! You should definitely get it fixed ASAP before things get worse

 

I'll stop the heavy leg days in the gym.

 

so when are we gonna do this again??

 

you guys needs to quite spending so much time on your knees haha

 

David and I were just hanging out and had a business meeting tonight. We were thinking this Sunday? Or maybe Saturday after the meet. Not sure yet.
