So what's the treatment? Apparently the doctor said it's okay to walk. Are you feeling better? 

Fritzy, It's complicated because I need a MRI. I have a pacemaker so I cannot have an MRI due to the use of magnets in them. I have an appt with an Orthopedic Dr and we will see what he says. I can have a CT scan but it probably won't show the amount of damage. The quick care Dr said the Ortho Dr will probably be able to somewhat tell the damage and where it is by examining me. I asked about walking on it and they did give me a supernice knee brace and she said as long as I don't go overboard, which I didn't, ( town is less than a 1/2 mile from start to finish) we didn't even go to end.. I iced it and have it elevated now. It is a bit sore but not to bad..💜 

awesome scenery  

great trip - take it easy! 

Love the scenery but so sorry to hear about the meniscus tear! One of my employees just had that happen to her. She had an MRI and I have not heard yet if she has to have surgery. She is hoping not but I suppose that depends on how bad the tear is? I hope you don't have to have surgery and that your recover quickly. Did he say if you could continue to workout at least for upperbody? Glad you have the brace so you can at least enjoy your vacation.  

Looks like fun!! 

Redporch, we love coming here! We usually come a couple times a year. Oatman is a tourist trap but it's always fun and surprisingly there is a lot to do in Bullhead/ Laughlin. I won't know about surgery till I see the orthopedic in about 2 weeks. I don't think mine is that bad, at least I'm hoping not🙏🙏 The Dr did say I could do upper body workouts but I need to stay seated because standing while using weights can still put stress on it. I can also do core as long as I don't use lower body. So no planks but crunches ok. I'm going to the small gym they have here tomorrow.  

Glad you went to see a doctor D1234💜 Hopefully you can avoid surgery. I suspected PCL or meniscus based on description of the injury. Time to work on those guns 💪💪 

You look great! Sorry the knee has become an issue. 

sorry about your knee Diana and I hope you recover soon. you look like your having the time of your life, enjoy!!!! 

Otb, Hcb, moko, and Tim, thank you! It's a good thing we went yesterday, the weather here changed and it's been raining steady since last night..🌧️ 

Sk, I too thought it was meniscus or MCL related. I tore MCL in other leg before and pain was in same general area. Hopefully no surgery will be necessary 🙏. Buenita and Kenna, thanks! I hope I will be back to normal after some PT.  

I have a meniscus tear also. Been lucky so far. Exercise pain is gone no catching when I walk. Hope you won’t need surgery. I had surgery on the other knee. Don’t want to do it again 

Beck, Sorry to hear you also had a tear. It is now t fun as you know. I too don't want to have surgery! It's bothering me a bit today but overall I think it's getting better. No exercise for awhile though!💜👍
