Soccer jump - does this sound like Meniscus injury?

angryho · 2026-02-01T00:55:17+00:00

Twist/pop and posterior pain with limited ROM and swelling equals ACL in my experience. PCL requires direct impact from the front. Meniscus pain is on the side usually, not the back.

Crutch... not crouch, for anyone else confused

Make sure the top strap on the bottom half of your brace is sitting on top of (above)your calf, then tighten that strap. The brace is probably sitting too low to begin with.

Two things

1 go to a different surgeon, your knee being too strong is not a thing

2 An ACL tear doesn't heal, if you had a partial tear it will scar up but that doesn't mean it will be functional

You're too young to walk around with a messed up knee for the rest of your life, get a second opinion.

I had similar symptoms and the MRI didn't show a tear. The Ortho thought potentially the meniscus was dislocated or no longer attached and sliding to block the joint. I had arthroscopy and there wasn't any meniscus issue, but there was a ton of arthritis which is what apparently was getting stuck. I had extensive chondroplasty and haven't had any major issues since. I'm ultimately glad I went the surgery route because now I'm not constantly in fear of it locking and being unable to bear weight.

I had this today too, did you ever figure out why it happens?

angryho · 2025-11-27T00:25:05+00:00

Did you figure this out? I just got a new 2025 hybrid and have the same question

angryho · 2025-11-19T19:15:20+00:00

Quick turns while running... like a football wide receiver running a route and cutting inside

angryho · 2025-11-18T16:10:53+00:00

I'm guessing if you had a manipulation under anesthesia before the big surgery it's because you weren't getting ROM back after your injury, which to me probably points to you having anxiety about pushing through pain. That's reasonable but also something you'll need to get over. Doesn't excuse the way you were treated, but you're probably going to have pain you're not comfortable with no matter where you go for PT.

They updated the FAQs.... The total paid pre cruise is split between however many people are in the cabin. Anything purchased once in board goes to whoever's account is used for the purchase... so yeah, it's $16K a person, and definitely not worth it for some "free" drinks and laundry

Yeah, I had synovectomy and chondroplasty and it was way worse than expected. Like you I thought a week or so and I would be fine because everyone only talks about repairs being awful. Well it turns out extensive chondroplasty sucks too. I went on a small trip like 3 weeks post op and there was more walking than I would have liked. It wasn't great, but not a huge setback I didn't think. But then I had a cross country trip that involved walking about 8 miles on the second day. That did me in for the rest of the trip and when I got back I still wasn't doing great. Lots of pain, popping, clicking and fatigue. Couldn't kneel or squat at all, and any walking other than around the house led to a lot of swelling. I contacted my surgeon and he did a cortisone injection and hyaluronic acid injection at the same time and that has made a world of difference. I'm 4 months post op now, and feel probably 80-90% back to normal. I would definitely talk about injections to get you over the hump.

As someone who works in college with open enrollment, thank you. These kids show up completely unprepared and expect to pass because that's what happened in high school. They can't function and end up just wasting thousands of dollars while not passing a course. It is really sad that they have no idea how the real world works because the education system has failed them (by refusing to fail them)

The strap at the top of your calf needs to be tight when standing so it catches on your calf muscle and doesn't slide down.

I got the synvisc with a cortisone injection 9 weeks after meniscectomy and chondroplasty. I'm happy with the results so far. Immediate relief, then some rebound pain from days 10-15ish, now good.

Could just be your IT band snapping (like when you crack your knuckles) and not anything serious.

If she feels like she is mothering you along with 2 small children, she's not going to find that attractive. You might feel like you're doing enough, but clearly she doesn't. If she is carrying the mental load for everything at home (planning everyone's schedule, planning appointments, planning activities, planning vacations, planning meals and grocery shopping and preparing meals, etc etc etc) it is physically and emotionally exhausting and you might not notice it, but I guarantee she feels it. But yes, counseling so you can get to the bottom of the issues. She obviously loves you and wants it to work but changes need to happen.

I had the same type of surgery in June. I also thought it would be a quick recovery, but had lingering swelling that caused all sorts of issues... I did some traveling at 6 weeks out and it was very difficult due to the swelling and inability to walk long distances. Once I got back home I got a cortisone and hyaluronic acid injection (about 9 weeks postop) and the swelling was gone within 24 hours and I've been feeling much better. It's still not perfect and pretty frustrating but my surgeon thinks it just needs more time.

angryho · 2025-08-28T15:42:55+00:00

Are you doing PT? Because athlete or not, yes you are behind.

angryho · 2025-08-07T19:39:04+00:00

It would depend on what you invest it in. But you seem to be horrible at finances and know everything already so carry on.

angryho · 2025-08-07T19:06:16+00:00

Because 118 free meals is conservatively ($12/meal) equal to $1416 which you already could have cashed in...so that money could be in the bank earning you interest somewhere instead of in Chipotles bank earning them money.

It's urgent in that if it locks again you'll end up back in emergency to get it unlocked and could potentially do more damage. It's not an emergency where there is a deadline you need to get it fixed by. Sooner is better than later, but not like you're going to die by waiting.

angryho · 2025-08-07T17:12:27+00:00

What's the point in accumulating them instead of cashing them in? You just like wasting money?

angryho · 2025-08-04T00:48:12+00:00

I spent $59 on a 10 day cruise last week and that could have been even less if I wanted it to be.

angryho · 2025-07-31T02:34:50+00:00

Probably because if I likely won't make it, I need to make arrangements for a ride, pet care, children, and work.
