Yeah - hurts, doesn't it ? Bad luck. These things are easily fixed these days with keyhole surgery, and the right physiotherapy. When I did mine many years ago, I was on crutches for three bloody months.

Yes, I did the same playing basketball. Had to have surgery on it and have had to be less active since--I was told that if I wasn't careful I was going to need a more serious surgery on BOTH knees, the other one for compensating for eth first-- Best of luck!!

Tore my medial meniscus but have since learned to live with what little pain I have. However todays medicine can fix a knee very easily so someday I will get it fixed.

Nope, I think you're likely the very first person ever to injure such a part of your anatomy! I did have a knee replaced, though.

I haven't, but when my big borther was in high school he was a wrestler, and he tore the cartalidge in his knee, and had to have surgery to get it removed. Good luck to you, hopefully yours isn't as bad.
