Do I own a knees gash. " I unintended delete my finishing ask."
About a month ago, I hurt my knee working out, and it still hurts. The pain is contained by the front of my knee. I feel a sharp headache when I put weight on it, and even when I swim. If I walk for to long, it give out, and I have to sit down. "Walking up the stairs is the worst!!" I'm only 13 and on monday, I'm going to find my physical for football, and I was going to ask the doctor about it later. If any one has had a meniscus opening, is this what it feels like, or is this another opening, or is it even a tear?
Answer: I am a lot elder than you but when I went out to play soccer in my 40's (Yeah, thats right!), I blew out my ACL on my right knees. During the examination which was by MRI, the orthopedic doctor discover that my meniscus be torn up. Yes, it does feel like deeply of needles inserted around the knee joint. In my shield, arthritis aggrevates it even more. The doctor took out my ACL and trimmed the meniscus.
Be straight forward in asking the doctor. Let him diagnose this. He may recommend you see an orthopedic doctor. He may (and probably will) recommend some sort of knew brace to protect your knees from any additional injury when you play. There might even be some supplements that can speed things up and strengthen your joints.
Your childlike yet and your body can heal promptly. But don't over extend yourself. Worst case scenario is that you might have to lay low for awhile. If a doctor presribes a course of dealing to follow, stick with it. You may be surprised at how fast you can get better.
I was told by my orthoped that knee injuries take place to people especially those that play sports. When I asked him if I could get my knees fixed so that I could play again, he said that I was too old! Not babyish enough or rich enough to progress through all the therapy that it would filch to get it back into shape. He also said that organizataions resembling an NFL team can afford to put out the money and provide the therapy for one of their star players. He told me that I wasn't one of them. :-)
Good luck! God bless!
