I became a meat crayon

that sounds like a whole bunch of nope.

dont be afraid to see different doctors until you find one you're comfortable with. I had some ****ing nutjob wanna cut off part of the end of my collar bone for what turned out to be a small labral tear (really it's just a frayed edge). too many half wits out there to roll the dice with.

That’s for sure man. It’s a tough one out there. It’s almost like performance shops. They’ve either gotten a good reputation, or they haven’t.

Luckily I’m actually going to see the new doctors assistant tomorrow instead of next Tuesday. My ladyfriend worked her magic and got me in sooner. I’ve got all my images, and results from the radiologist. So this should be rather simple, or at least I’d hope. She wants to inspect my knee to see where it’s at swelling, and mobility wise. I’ve got good mobility in my knee. Still not a lot of mobility in the sense I can’t flat foot yet. Been working on that one.

Good Evening Young Chaps,

I had my second opinion today with Dr Lamar’s assistant. She was great, she came with high regards. So now onto the goodies of it all. What I’m going to say isn’t to throw shade, or be disrespectful however I’ll say that todays visit shed a bit of light on my injury.

Upon seeing this new doctor not only did she go over all of my imaging, and show me all of the things wrong with this miniscus, and ACL tear. She also pointed out that my tibia is actually fractured, I’ve got multiple fractures in it. As stated by @kirks5oh she said my knee cap is way too swollen to even begin thinking surgery, although it was stated I could be in surgery by next week by the previous doctor. She said I’ve got 4-6 weeks before we can discuss surgery. No weight bearing for 2 more weeks, then she wants me to do some pre surgery physical therapy to regain mobility in my knee. She said I did really good working on my range of motion. She wants me in a hinge brace now and in the locked position while I get up to walk around, otherwise It can be in the relaxed position. So as she’s laying all of this information on me she mentioned draining my knee. I didn’t catch it at first, let me tell you what. That syringe was something fierce boy let me tell you. She got out 32ML? Sorry if that’s not correct. She said I’m young enough and she would like to repair my miniscus, if not she can just scoop it out and I’ll be okay without it. Shes pushing to use my patella, instead of the cadaver ? She also suggested I could use my hamstring instead if I so chose. Unsure what the best plan of action would be, I just want to have full motion, and range back. If I get anymore information I’ll be sure to share it with you guys. I’d love to show imaging from it, however my computer doesn’t show that program to allow me to pull them up. I will show you the syringe with the small needle. I wish I could post the video of it haha. You’ll hear me say some funny shit.

Knees are like people, they feel a lot better after they drain a pint. Haven't ever had your problem but I do know knee problems since high school wrestling.

That's all fine and dandy Daniel, but what we really want to know is,






Is she hot?

Haha, that’s for sure man! At least from what I’ve heard. Never drank before so I’m unsure.

If it isn’t my favorite Pontiac racer. Not too bad man, really trying to stay focused with my eye on the prize. A lot of recovery ahead of me. She told me maybe 1st of the year to be walking around worst case. If I’m a good boy, maybe by thanksgiving. Seems like a long time honestly, but it could always be worse. I could have lost a limb.

Hang in there dude... sucks being beat up but youre young. You'll heal up quicker than you think.

You are better off not drinking, many a time I regret my choice to drink.

Whew…you are gonna be down for way longer with non weight bearing status, if you have tibial plateau fractures AND they want to repair the meniscus, i thought that was reserved for basically D1 athletes. Not trying to get ya down, that’s just some horrible luck and more complex combo of injuries/procedures to fix man

From my understanding they said with me only being 31 there do their best to save what I have versus just cutting and scooping it out. It’s all good man. I’ve kinda accepted that I’ll be out for a while. Who knows I might take up knotting and making SVTP sweaters since by the time I’ll be ready to go back to wok it will be winter for some of you guys!

No pics of the short hot Asian doc with big tits? WTF?

If there was one I’d assure you I’d post her up

The meniscus is either repairable or not, based on the patient age and location of the tear. It’s harder to repair, which is why some surgeons don’t repair it. That, and the recovery is longer for a repair. But if they can repair it—it’s better for you in the long run

You can write a book on what ligament to use for acl surgery. Cadaver tendon is easiest and quickest because the surgeon doesn’t have to harvest a tendon/ligament. But the cadaver tendon is slow to encorporate into your body because it’s not your tissue—I wouldn’t go with cadaver tendon, and my opinion is that any surgeon who only offers that, is being lazy and only concerned with doing the surgery quicker. Using your own tissue is best—you won’t be any slower/weaker/etc if they use your tissue for the reconstruction. The patellar tendon is strongest, but could leave you with some pain kneeling long term. The correct answer is to go with what the surgeon is most comfortable with—I’d lean towards hamstring if it were me.

But your overall outcome will depend most heavily on the effort you put into rehab, therapy, and following postop instructions closely.

Not the best news. But at least your moving in a direction.

How is your work handling this news? Are you set there?
