I flipped my meniscus in early august and up until today which is October 5th, it has stayed that way. For the past couple of days I had gone to work on a mobility scooter and sparingly tried walking, I felt a couple of pops when trying to hobble around and some mild pain that I could best describe as tender. This morning after taking the dog out on my scooter I was lying on the couch blessing the morning, when it felt like my meniscus had started to move around for a bit and back into place thereafter. An immense amount of pressure was released and I could almost straighten my leg. I have surgery scheduled in less than in week and hopes my doctor can repair the 1.3cmx1.3cm horn tear I suffered from a bad arena floor. I walked kinda funny last night and had felt a crazy burst of extreme adrenaline from watching my team play hockey. I have taken some Oxycodone for relief.
