Question: Somebody please help!! I've been on crutches for a month and they don't know what's wrong!!.?
my knee snapped on September 17th. On the 18th i went to urgent care. they said that i probably tore my meniscus but i needed an MRI just to be sure. about 2 weeks later, they did an MRI, and two doctors said I tore my meniscus. I went to a sports doctor and he and another doctor said I DIDN'T tear it. the sports doctor reccomended physical therapy. I got physical therapy for 2-3 weeks, mobility improved, pain got worse. Still using crutches for over a month.

what should I do, I see the sports doctor again on monday.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
omg! I tore my meniscus skiing!
i needed a cat scan before they were sure is was torn
if your knee is hurting when you're in pt then stop! you do not want to tear it more.
i would go get another opinion if i were you.
i dont want to scare you but i narrowly escaped having to get surgery on mine. they said it was because i am young, but that an adult would probably need to have it surgically fixed.
but please don't push your knee when exercising stop as soon as i hurts and put ice on it
please, please, please go to another doctor!
good luck!Health Question & Answer

Make sure the "sports doctor" is actually an orthopedic surgeon. There are a lot of doctors out there calling themselves Sports Medicine who have not completed an orthopedic residency.Health Question & Answer

Hopefully, your PT has sent over a progress report letting him know that it has not been of benefit. Your follow up visit will be a chance for you to discuss what further needs to be done.Health Question & Answer
