so i had my third x ray on me knee a few days ago. It had been giving me trouble for some time now following an accident whilst hiking, but the smart clinic (thats a mis nomer) told me it was fine just some swelling. Anyway it was now apparent that there is a radial tear running from the inside to the outside of my meniscus. I actually had to explain this to the lab tech who clearly didnt know shit about x rays. long story short i need to take it easy. It didnt help that this news came after a 15 mile hike earlier in the day which afterward i drove myself to the hospital. My knee had been hurting like a sonofabitch all week and the hike didnt help it. The tear shouldnt be to serious at the moment, but i need recovery time. chances are i will have a fews days next week, but then im back in the feild.
