MRI scheduled for Saturday morning. I have a ton of fluid on my knee now....

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Apr 30 '13, 17:13

xrays looked ok, they think the cartilidge is ok. They believe I have either

a MCL strain (this would be awesome), they would then drain the fluid and a cortizone shot, and I should be good to go.

or

an MCL tear, (not so awesome), this would be some sort of surgery, depending on the degree of the tear.

We really,really, really want this to be a sprain.

They want to do surgery for an MCL tear? I was advised against the knife. -- nm - David Apr 30, 17:15 14
- and, keep in mind too, that when I ripped my cartilidge, it did not show on the xray either. - groiny Apr 30, 17:18 12
  - The way this is going, you're going to need double knee replacement surgery down the line. -- nm - David Apr 30, 17:20 11
    - he and I could be room buddies - possibly the safest a woman has ever felt saying that re: him. (sorry, grny - hoping for the best for you!) -- nm - b. Apr 30, 17:23 9
      - sweetie, I would be the best roomate you ever had! - groiny Apr 30, 17:23 8

        I really thought the reply would be worse that this. -- nm - Bacon Apr 30, 17:26 5

        When you get the good news on Wednesday you can make up for that limp answer -- nm - Bacon Apr 30, 17:27 3
        
        be careful what you wish for. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 30, 17:27 1
        
        Yeah, I dodged the bullet there -- nm - Bacon Apr 30, 17:28
        
        Or whenever they share the results. I am guessing that will be during a followup appt -- nm - Bacon Apr 30, 17:27
    - yeah, I am not really pleased about this. - groiny Apr 30, 17:21
- depends on the degree of the tear. - groiny Apr 30, 17:16
