Guys,
Two weeks ago i had a sharp pain while back squatting in my left knee... I immediately pushed up with opposite leg and threw bar.
I can walk and bend knee fine.. Only hurts with lateral movement / squatting
-DAY 1 DR #1 says IT band sprain
- DAY 7 DR #2 says lateral meniscus tear
- Day 12 Physical therapist says a bone may have popped out and back in (tibia
or fibula .. cant remember)
- Day 13 Took an X Ray... Negative, no fractures
- Day 16 Physical Therapist is surprised that the pain still feels exactly the same and says it may be a cartilage tear
The pain strikes where the Fibula meets the Tibia and like i said Only hurts with lateral movement / squatting.. I can jog lightly... Fully extend and flex leg/knee with no pain.. no pop/locking etc..
I have to go through 4 weeks of physical therapy before my insurance will approve an MRI (SO WACK)
If there is anyone here who works in the field i would appreciate any thoughts.
thanks all.
