Just thought I would ask the question and see who and what injuries you have had from playing basketball.
I just got my results today from the Orthopedic surgeon after getting an X Ray, CT Scan and MRI on my right knee.
I hurt it about a year ago in a game and went to Physio after thinking it wasn't all that bad. They said it was just my knee cap that was dislocating and that it was no biggie. They gave me some exercises to do a special brace to wear while playing, which I couldn't do for about 4 weeks. They said a scan wasn't necessary because it wouldn't change the management.
Then, 2 weeks ago, I 'dislocated my knee cap' again and felt REAL sore this time, and tender/swollen for a few days.
Well, the results today said:
The first time I 'dislocated my knee cap', it was actually a full knee dislocation and a complete ACL tear! This means, that after 4 weeks, I was playing again with no ACL! DeJuan Blair style!
Then, the recent injury, was a full dislocation AGAIN and a tear to the meniscus and MCL
Damn hey!
No ball for me, for MONTHS! I am starting the road to recovery tomorrow and booking the surgery to fix it!
Anyway, enough complaining from me, who else has an injury?? Or has anyone else done an ACL?
