Back to the ortho?-UPDATE post 17-UPDATED again post 65
Alrighty, tomorrow will be 3 weeks and I still have pain in my left knee. The orthopedist said it should be a couple of weeks before I was feeling up to skiing again, but if I was concerned, I could have it checked out again before our Sugarbush/MRG trip (which is now 2 weeks away). I guess this was because while he didn't think there was ACL damage, sometimes it can mask itself pretty well and ongoing pain (or increasing pain) can be a sign. When I saw the orthopedist, they did x-rays and he pushed my leg around in different manners to test pain, plus compared the injured knee to the non-injured knee. I've since learned that most rely on MRI for more accurate diagnosis (versus x-ray)....
What do you think?
Pain started out to the left of my kneecap (outside of my knee), but now I feel it there, under my kneecap when my knee is really bent, and behind my knee in the middle when standing really straight (almost hyper-extending the knee). Not crippling pain, just a constant reminder that there's something wrong, with the occasional "ouch" thrown in for good measure.
Experts want to chime in?
