Are you sure you didn’t tear something?

I don't know, might have damaged the meniscus or one of the ligaments that hold the knee in place. I went to the local emergency clinic the day it happened and the Dr. did some xrays and said no breaks but normal osteoporosis for a man my age.
![]() Had an appointment to see an orthopedic Dr. yesterday but he had to cancel as he went home sick. Now supposed to go tomorrow. So far I am just resting it, wearing one of those spandex/velcro knee braces and using the crutches. It actually feels better today but I'm still trying to rest it. |

They gave me a CD with the X-rays in it. While X-rays don't show tissue damage or a torn meniscus because they generally only show bone, it does look like the space between the joint is still pretty good, not too worn down.
