so while i wait for my follow up appointment, ill share a little of what's going on.
for my birthday in early january, i took a couple friends up to lake tahoe and went snowboarding for 3days straight. i was DEAD tired afterwards, chilled out for a day, when mitch wanted to skate. so we took the boat out and later that night when i was home i felt a weird pull in my left knee.
it's been almost a month now, so i went to the doctor's yesterday. took some xrays, and had a stress test. MCL, ACL, and PCL are all fine. after the stress test he said that i didnt completely test positive for a torn meniscus but that there was a chance, so i went in for an MRI.
i just got home and concluded that if i have to get surgery im going to try to wakeskate and/or snowboard everyday i dont have class for a week before surgery, assuming i cant make it worst.
bottom line im glad it's winter but injuries suck, especially when they have the potential to sit you out for an entire season.
stay healthy! _________________ .:Wake UP Films:.

ollieshuvitz, yeah, I just realized the cloud cover is total buzzkill as far as star trails are concerned, but we can probably do some light painting like in that thread I posted in non-wake  _________________ facebook.com/TheLiquidPlayground

If you do need surgery, stay off it because you can definitely make it A LOT worse. A meniscus snip that takes 6 weeks tops to recover from is way better than an ACL reconstruction that takes 6 months. |

Yea if it is just your meniscus they will most likely just cut off the torn piece and you can walk on it in a couple days. If you push it while it is injured you could do more damage to the other ligaments. I was in the same boat, and am still regretting my decision. |

update
so i just got back from the doctor's and he concluded "you can have your fun, but keep an eye on it and if it starts to hurt more or swell i want you to come in"
the outer part of my knee is fine in the MRI, no white lines (tears). the inner part of my meniscous has a faint, small white line that the radiologist was a little concerned with. the doctor said that as long as the pain isnt bothering me i should be fine, i basically have to take it easy.
no hitting the gym though(according to the dr, even though i havent been anyway hah)...i probably wont snowboard for a while either, since it's more intensive because im strapped in.
should be good to go for wakeskating/surf! im stoked! _________________ .:Wake UP Films:.
