That all depends on just how much pain and disability you are willing to just live with.this could also become a huge issue at some point without repairing the actual damage.this will also make that knee much more susceptable to future injury or worsening of any tear that may already be there.
is there some particular reason that you are hesitating on just getting this knee evaluated and possibly having just an MRI done on it?I guess i don't understand how your thinking is with this.
i have a huge mess going on inside my knee right now that i have needed surgical repair done for quite some time.I was all set to finally do this last fall but instead,when my MRI of my brain was done,they found an aneurysm inside my brain stem,so the knee had to go onto that back burner.unfortunetly,because of the underlying problems that were already there and not actually fixed when they should have been,I now,as of my last MRI a couple weeks ago,have a brand new meniscus tear which is also going to have to be fixed.This probably would not have even occured if I could have actually had the surgery done when it was supposed to have been done.unfortunetly,I really did not have any real choice in my situation,but you do.
i can almost guarentee you that if you indeed have some sort of a tear or structural damage to your knee and do not get it fixed at some point soon,you will be setting the stage here for alot of major problems down the road which could also include total disability of that leg.this really IS something that needs attention by at least your primary doc who can order an MRI to actually see what if any actual damage may have occured in there.you DO need to actually know for sure what you may be dealing with.this will not (if this is a tear somewhere)just heal by itself without help.if by some bizarre chance it does 'try' to actually connect,the results would be pretty bad for you if it does not do it correctly.I really doubt that any actual tear would ever be realistically be able to re connect with itself.this is why the orthos use grafted tissue instead.
i really do think you need to have this really evaluated by someone who knows knees and also find out for sure whats up by obtaining that MRI.The MRI at this point would be rather crucial in your particular case right now.this is not one of those 'ignore it and it will just go away'type of things.The pain that will eventually set in is also a huge factor.it is for me.I am currently taking 80-80-40 mgs of oxycontin daily and my pain is still off the charts,but I also suffer from a couple of nasty pain syndromes and one of them is RSD in that bad knee.but alot of my pain is also being generated just by all of the many problems that need to be repaired.i DO think it is high time that you just face this bit of reality and see your doc about it.If you just leave this go,you may pay a much bigger price later on.Good luck and let me know what you find out .But see your doc soon,K?
