I tore my medial meniscus.
I was happily joining the rest of my hip hop class at my gym when I slipped, fell and proceeded to scream for a few moments…I felt my knee “pop” as my leg slid under all my weight behind my body. I feel water all over my leg and hear everyone yelling for someone to turn the music down…I tell everyone I’m ok even though I wasn’t and I let my teacher clean up the puddle under me. It looked like someone from the previous class spilled some water and nobody cleaned it up. Hmmm. When I got up and struggled to get myself to the car and get in my bed, the pain was terrible, it felt like my kneecap was loose. I rested for a day and it had gotten worse so I called my attorney and told him what happened. He had me see the best doctor in the area who thought I tore my acl, after my MRI was received he told me I completely tore my medial meniscus. Earlier, When asked where the pain was I responded the medial and back side of my knee, also felt mediating from my ankle to hip. So I was not surprised. He also told me I will be needing surgery. I will find out tomorrow when I will be scheduled for the procedure. I hope its very soon because yesterday I felt a painful “pop” in my knee again and I have been limping around for weeks. I’m going through workout withdraw syndrome and I can’t take the stairs! I can’t dance! And I will be broke off! I just started with the HR dept at my job and from sales to cust service to corporate recruiter is a great leap for 09 but I missed out on a promotion because I’m limping around like a crazy person lol at least I have a job where I don’t have to stand but I miss my active lifestyle and just to let everyone know tearing your medial meniscus is a pretty bad injury.
