well yesterday i went to the doctor i had been having knee trouble since last year Oct i tripped in NC and screwed my knee up and weighting 375 pounds it does not take much

he sent me to physical therapy for the month and nothing helped
yesterday he aid he thinks my tended in my knee has a bucket tear so he wonts me to get a MRI Tuesday.

if it is tore i have to have surgery to fix it at least my season is already over

but i hope since it will be the beginning of 08 when i get itdone i should be better before next season but there went a spring turkey hunt arrrrr.

I do not know if i wont them cutting on me either it hurts but not enough i can not walk and not all the time . i have heard of alot of people who get back surgery or knee surgery ad it gets worst

lets hope not but at least i will have alot of time to talk to you all lol

I tore both my ACL's and meniscus playing college football. Get your knee taken care of if it requires surgery or you may be in a tremendous amount of pain as you age. Your knee WILL NOT get worse after surgery unless the surgeon is drunk. Think about this Tim, you weigh 375 pounds, do you think you will stay in shape as you age if your knee hurts alot? NO. Give yourself a chance and get the surgery done if it is required.

Knee surgery has come a long way. They will probably do it with a scope or what ever you call it. Get well big guy.

yes he said it would be a scope what ever that is

scope is nothing tim....in and out. Will have some pain depending on the type of injury you have--then the pain will subside and you will feel better than ever

lets up i should know by the end of the week i will propoly wait untill rabbit andsqurrial season it over in feb to get it done unless it will get worstby then but it has been mess up since last year so i doubt that

If you have cartilage damage like it sounds like...For me I wouldn't wait. The cartilage can keep tearing and get worse...cartilage doesn't grow back after it is torn, unlike ligaments which can knit back to a certain degree...let me know Tim...I had too many knee injuries and know alot about them.

i think it is a ligament from what i rad ifyou get a cartilage reabir usasly it does not last lognand mostbe redone does the cartlage show up on a xray he said my xray was ok but it might be something you do not ee on axray

I tore my ACL three times in the right knee and twice on the left knee. With the amount of technology they have today for knee surgeries is unreal.I used to race motocross & supercross professionally and man did they have me back on the bikes in no time. Be sure to get it fixed and do EXACTLY what they tell you too!The way I see it, I have a very lilimited amount of time to be in the woods till I can no longer, physically do it anymore. Inow make sure that I'm in great shape to make the trip each and every year. Good luck, you have any questions about it, feel free to PM me. I'll be more than happy to help in anyway I can.
