I might need surgery :-(

[europop2005]

I was playing soccer last night and I got tackled by a 5'10 130 lb Brazillian, I felt a searing pain in my knee and it looks like it might be my miniscus...i'm having it examined but hoping for the best

I hope it doesn't require surgery.

hope you don't need surgery, maybe some ice and rest.

 

[Mr. Green Eyes]

hope you don't need the surgery. hope that everything turns out for the best.

Hoping for you that it will mend on it's own, and that you will not need surgery.

did he rugby tackle you or something? good luck with the injury!

 

[Carek1230]

Ouch. I hope that ice and rest will be all that's needed and not surgery. It'll take time to heal, and patience. The hardest things to deal with really. Good luck

 

[dazzledbylight]

good luck to being free of surgery!

hope you'll heal well!

maybe some ice and rest.

Reduced activity and ice Don't stop using that knee altogether, as you don't want your muscles to atrophy and become weak, but take it easy at the same time. Lots of ice for now, and whether you end up having surgery or not, find a good physio/massage/sports therapist as you start to heal.

Its bad...I need the surgery, were setting it up for weds, i'm looking at a 4 to 6 month recovery before i can play again

as for the tackle, i was running with the ball, he misjudged a slide and ended up slamming right into my shin/lower knee. I know it was an accident so I forgive him, these things are risky. But I've ruptured the miniscus and need the repair.

Sorry to hear that.

I hope all goes well and wish you a quick recovery.

 

[Galeongirl]

Yowch, bad luck! Hope you recover fast!

 

[kafrun]

Yuck! Heal up soon

 

[europop2005]

I had the operation, i'm fine, i'm on painkillers right now but it still REALLY hurts

 

[Mr. BAW]

Hope this teaches you about playing with those Brazilians!!!!

Cheer up - could've been worse...

 

[Purplereign]

that sounds mighty hurty - best of luck with it all and wishing you a speedy, frustration free recovery

 

[Lila64]

Here's to a speedy recovery

 

[BonosBaby12]

Hope you have a safe recovery
