Hi all, I posted the other day about my knee issues so I'll just refresh. I've had acl reconstruction in my left leg 2 years ago. Out of the blue my right leg started getting stiff and hurting.... fast forward a month later it still hurts, BADLY. I went to the dr. He confirmed he thought it was a meniscus tear. I'm not convinced that it's not both my acl and meniscus. The pain is unreal, walking is very painful it wakes me up at night in pain. My knee gives out and buckles, very scary. The pain is mostly in the back of my knee and one spot in my calf area feels like someone is stabbing a knife in that one spot. Last night my leg, chin area and foot were swollen - at this point I just need an answer. I go in a week for an MRI...if insurance approves it, which is doubtful.
Any help or advise ? Thanks
