I blew out my knee

[The_Dark]

well.. I stood up tonight. Thats all I did.. Just stood up. The docs think I tore my Medial Collateral Ligament... thats the really big one that goes across the bacl of you knee. I may be in store for some surgey.. oh joy. But at least my legs will be the same size again.

[torn asunder]

Demerol bad...bad bad demerol. I felt like a rag doll on demerol.

[Head Wreck]

on a serious note:

[JaneDead]

:( sorry to hear that.

and as for demerol when they gave it to me in the hospital it did nothing so i told the nurse she was lying to me and gave me nothing. maybe she in fact DID give me NOTHING.

[Ginevra]

Very sorry to hear that, Dark. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

[Brenda Starrr]

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this. My dad has had knee troubles his whole life, so I can sympathize with you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

[Marblez]

I am always worried bout my knees these days. They have been feeling weird every onece in a while, it appears to be related to wearing my heels.

Grr, I like my heels!

A better one would be:

Ben Wallace - Probable (pulled hamstring), Darko Milicic - Out (torn ACL), Lindsey Hunter - Doubtful (high heel shoe injury).

[The_Dark]

See, I have severe problems with the ACL and cartlidge in my right leg... I have even had surgery on it and have been told I will need a knee replacement eventually. When you have a servere problem with one knee... your body adjusts and shifts weight to the other leg... If you jump.. you absorb most of the shock with that other leg.. all this over works it and eventually.. something "breaks". My MCL just could not handle the added stress anymore and gave out. Standing up was the candle that broke The Dark's leg. You should have seen the look on the nurse's face when I told her how this happened.. "I stood up" deer in head lights look "No, really... how did this happen?"

[Black Sunday]

Well good luck rehabing your leg, my brother tore his ACL and the road to getting it back to 100%....well it's been 7 years and it's still not 100%.

Hopefully you're not an athelete and need to run around alot.

I have no idea about knee replacements but hopefully you have good insurance.

good luck.

[The_Dark]

Someone needs to shoot me now.. I can't handle the pain.. I need sleep... this sucks...

[Troy Spiral (13)]

i have just one ACL thats fucked, although in my case its my own damn fault (skateboarding at around age 16 )

I thought it was "healed" around age 24, then i.... stood up the wrong way.. whamo , screwed up again.

Sorry to year sir.

Brians dad has had his knee replaced and still has trouble with it but he is like 70 yrs old now so i think he just like to complain alot. I will say even thogh he does complain about it he is getting around alot better then if he had not had it done. All i know is ( i have had some odd experiances to back my thought on this) the younger you are when things happen the better chance you ahve of recovering 100% or close to that any how. So if the option comes arond to have the surgery get is done as soon as the doc recomends it.

I as well will put a good word in for ya.

Huggs to u for pain

huggs to wifey for puttin up with your pain. ;O))

harm

[The_Dark]

Well, the Docs say I dont need surgery.. I need to wear this brace and stay off it as much as possible for the next month or so. Still hurts like hell though. gah.. I hate my knees.
