You remember the thing about the knee I posted yesterday? With the only problem being overstretched ligaments and capsules? And the yaying on it?







I might have been too fast with that. I just had a call from the surgeon who told me that the MRT practice apparently had another look at the MRT pictures again and decided that yeah, the meniscus is okay but hey... looks like the cruciate ligament is ruptured. Dear, doctors... THIS IS NOT FUNNY GODDAMMIT! So now I have to see the surgeon on Tuesday again so they can measure for a new splint. On the phone the surgeon said that the development of my symptons speaks against a rupture and for the overstretching but they want to be careful so I'll get one of those splints with joint for like... two months or something and they'll do another MRT. When I'm symptom free by that time and the MRT says everything's okay (or is as fuzzy as it was now... apparently, that stuff isn't REALLY reliable) everything will be okay. If not... arthroscopy. Yay. Or... not. Anyway, gotta go for my birthday present from schnelmi and heitidei.

Awwwww *hugs your knee* Poor you. I'm SO glad that I'm not super duper active anymore as I'd probably be in the hospital/dr's office every time I turned around.

Nyargh, I meant to get on MSN the last few days but never got to it because Whitening and dad's 60th birthday and guests and generally LOTS OF STUFF so I guess I have to answer you here (so as you don't get worried and everything)... Thanks for the hugging (says the knee ;)) and the awwwing... I just hope that they just did that to ensure I won't sue them for misdiagnosing (because, you know, the MRI people only SUSPECT the rupture and only saw it after they had another look on it so it MIGHT or might NOT be one...). Narf.

Meh, too late on the whole worrying thing :P

But I get that you've been busy so that's okay (you are allowed to have a life young lady. I mean we went what??? a couple weeks barely talking when I was working 14 hour nights?)

As for the knee its kind of reminiscent of when I had my kidney stone. I went to the ER they put me through a CT scan said "Oh nope, you don't have anything wrong with you, good luck with that excruciating pain!" and sent me home. Then in the morning reexamined my CT scan and called me up and were all "Ooops. Looks like you got a kidney stone, good luck with that!"

Um... sorry :S Guess I should have told you about that but I obviously fell victim to the misconception that I would be able to get on messenger on the weekend (even if I'm allowed to have a life, it would have been polite and considerate to actually warn you :S).

Yep, kinda sounds like that. You'd really think professionals like that would be able to see such things on first glance... ;)

Oh no! I'm so sorry *hug*
But the surgeon said that the development of your symptoms speaks against the rupture so ... everything will be fine! I really hope so!

Thank you! Ihave the bad feeling that this whole thing will take a little while... I guess I need to phone the sports club and tell them I need to suspend my memebership until I'm back on par *sighs

:( That sucks! Hope your knee gets better soon.

Thanks for the well wishes... I hope that, too but I start to get the feeling that this might take a while :S

Yikes. What kind of bullshit malpractice are these docs doing? Is an MRT the same as an MRI? If you were here, I'd advise you to sue. But seriously, that SUCKS. Kick them hard in the kneecap for me, please.

Is an MRT the same as an MRI?

Yep... I just always forget that you use a different acronym.

Kick them hard in the kneecap for me, please.

The surgeons or the MRI people? ;) Because, seriously, how can they overlook something like a ruptured ligament the first time (the MRI people, that is... the surgeons can't even look at the MRI pictures for some reason)?

[asugar.livejournal.com]

All of them. And why isn't a doctor reading the MRI? They do here. Sounds fishy, like someone is doing CYA.
