2 on my knee. Knee pain from soccer, had the MRI, X-rays, went back to the doc a bunch of times (over a span of 3 years) Diagnosis was a torn meniscus. I did the research and thought, "cool, I'll be back to 100% in a few weeks."
I went in for the arthroscopic surgery, and they "found out" that my ACL was gone.
.... so that's why my knee hurt!!
Went in later that summer to have the patellar tendon ACL graft. Easily the most painful thing I have ever been through.
Now my other knee is starting to hurt... I'm afraid to go to the doctor.
I have pics similar to the one below of my ACL.
I don't have any padding behind my kneecap. I just recently had an MRI and they said my kneecaps were "off centered" thus causing the padding to wear quicker. The doctor said being so active athletically, I was lucky they lasted this long. I got a cortisone injection, did a little PT and they have been fine so far.
I have also had several oral surgeries. I'm a dentalphobic and I have to be put under to have most anything dental related done.
Hey doc, do you know the address of that place?
Oh, you know, I do know the address. It's at the corner of go fuck yourself and buy a map!
