MRI Worth a Thousand Words

Here are a few frame grabs of my MRI.  In my next post I will share two docs' opinions of what they saw and what we should do...

Knee from back

Knee from back mid bone

Knee from side midbone

Knee from top

Surprise, Surprise

During the warmups of the finals in the Monroe County Clay Court Championships, I discovered I had more than my regular knee pain. I played anyway since it was the finals, but come Monday, I called the doctor.

I saw the doc and he thought it was a torn meniscus so he ordered the MRI.

Got my MRI done. NOTE: always get your MRI done at a diagnostic center, NOT anything on a hospital campus. My doc sent me to the latter and the price difference was unbelievable for the same service. I walked out an went to the diagnostic center and saved a lot of money.

Came back to the doctor. He looks at it and goes, "you definitely have a torn meniscus, but that is the minor problem.". MINOR PROBLEM!?!

I was thinking scope the knee, fix the tear then be back on court in 4 weeks. These are the surprises I don't like.
