OT knee update

Post by Fox »

Well over the past 2 months I guess, I have been seeing doctors and this is what I have been told. My ACL was torn and my MCL sprained, the difference from the right to the left was 6mm, 5mm is a massive tear. Well about a week ago I went in to be measured again and it is down to 2mm, so my ACL is healing itself somehow.

Looks like I will not need surgery but will need a brace for anything pivotal for the rest of my life or until it tears and I get surgery.

Not out of the woods, but I would much rather have a brace than be out for a year and still need a brace.

I walked better than my dad with it torn and swollen, ha ha. The big problem is my pain threshold, I do not think it is as bad as it is, so I have to be really careful.

Sounds like with care you might avoid surgery - always the option I prefer.
A brace sure beats not walking!
