Emergency Room!
I rode up to flagstaff to go to the ER to see what was wrong with my knee. When we got there me, my mom, dad, grandma and grandpa all waited for them to call me back. Two hours later we left finding out that I had a torn LCL and partial meniscous tear. They said I wouldnt need any surgery, just therapy! -
Not what we thought!
One thursday morning I was getting ready for school when all of the sudden my knee gave out and i fell. It hurt really bad. I layed on the floor and called for my mom. My mom was unsure about what the ER had said so we went ahead and went to an orthopedic surgeon. There the doctor was pretty sure that I had a torn ACL and a torn Meniscous. We schedule for an MRI so that we could find out forsure. -
Final Answer
I went to the orthopediac surgeon so that we could look at my MRI results and see what was going on. The doctor clarified that I had no ACL, I had completey blown it out. Also I had torn my whole medial meniscous. He stated that i would need surgery. -
