Just left the doc. He said that a diagnostic scope had to be done in order to tell exactly what was wrong. I did have a MRI but apparently they couldn't tell much...which kinda concerns me. He said that they are not positive of ACL damage but something is "blocking" my knee from extending all the way. I can put ALL of my weight on my knee as well as move it side to side with that pressure. Nothing is really consistent with an ACL injury. He even did all of the "excercises" that they do to see if it is an ACL tear. I showed great strength in all of those excercises. So, he is going to go in and repair what is needed (pretty certain about the lateral meniscus) during that one surgery. If there is also ACL damage he will do a reconstruct using the hamstrings. I am just praying that I did not tear the acl. I'm just concern that he doesnt know yet....before going in?? Should I be!!! I am extremely nervous!! Thanx!
