Hey! I have that! Mine's from karate, though. Torn lateral meniscus and a torn ACL. My knee would pop out of joint and then I'd spend the next three days on crutches waiting for the swelling to go down. I should probably have the surgery one of these days.
That is what I had bad on my knee! they took the cartilage out years ago, I had two other operations on it and then two years ago had the knee replaced!!
I have never had that, this has never happened to be before. I'm in good shape, hike & walk regularly. I'm gonna go nuts if I can't keep moving.
I've torn my meniscus twice in my right knee and once in my left. Mine was while playing soccer. The second time on my right knee I tore the ACL as well. It's hell some days.Hey! I have that!

Hey Scutter, where do you study Karate?
The last time I popped it, it sucked. A little after, when it was swollen, I was coming down the stairs and bent it too far. I sat down hard on the bottom step and couldn't get back up. I had to have Spasmo hold my ankle down to keep me from bending my leg while I tried to stand. The reaction to the pain is to pull your foot back, but that increases the pressure on the swelling in the knee, which translates into agony.
I was told I will have at least my right knee and maybe my left replaced later in life.The last time mine was swollen the Dr took out 28 100cc syringes full of blood and water! he looked up at me and said I think we have a problem here! three weeks later I'm getting a titanium knee put in!!

My grandpa said it wasn't that bad when they did his partial at 64, but now they're about to do his full and he's worried.I'm pretty sure mine is nowhere near that bad. That sounds like a suck day. My step-dad had to have both knees replaced. He did them one at a time. His advice to me was that if I ever needed it done, get them both done together because if you do one, you'll NEVER want to do the other one.
