Needless to say, the last 3 weeks has been eventful. Thankfully, I think everything is settling down now. 3 weeks ago, I hyperextended my knee in a game. It felt pretty bad but I hobbled around and played a few more minutes in the game. When I went to see the local doctor, he just poked and prodded and said, “rest for a week.”
A week later I tried to play and still had significant pain with jumping and running fast. So I asked to see a different doctor. This led me to Skopje and the best sports doctor in Macedonia. He did the standard procedures and took an MRI. He then told me I should have arthroscopic surgery that would include micro-fracture surgery. I never imagined my knee was bad enough for surgery but based on the MRI he felt I should. The findings from the MRI were an intense bone contusion, a lesion on the bone, some fluid in the knee and some retracted ACL Fibers.
That’s when I contacted doctors in America. All 3 doctors told me not to have surgery! So now, I am doing rehab according to their plan and hope to be back in action soon. Thank you for all of the prayers and support.
