Help!!!! my knee, ouch.

[reepicheep]

I recently injured my right knee, as an avid sportsman I am chomping at the bit to return my active lifestyle. I am seeking advice that might help expedite my recovery more quickly/thoroughly. Any docs or fellow knee survivors out there?

The injury: occured in a YOGA position--sitting on floor w/ knees fully bent, (heels next to hips) when I layed back--severe pain shot through my leg. The next day the swelling started, & pain--it has been over 3 weeks w/ little improvement. I am not exactly thrilled about orthopedics and am seeking to recover naturally. I believe the injury to be a tear in the medial meniscus (sp?). Presently I am: icing, elevating, on crutches, taking bromelain, TMG and Manganese Asporotate. Any other advice?

Three weeks without improvement? Time for an orthopaedist. Continuing your current regimen will only make matters worse in the long run.

mr. dd has stuggled with knee injury off and on for years. he had surgery back in the dark ages. now he's considering cold therapy (? is that right, skunky?). But, he told me tonight that he thinks he may have "loosened something up" when he took that little dive off the boardwalk in Aug.

my pop had his knee scoped a year ago for arthritis and it made it worse. he has to go ahead and get it replaced.
