I Injured My ‘Lateral Meniscus’
What the hell is that? meniscus is a structure that separates 2 joints on your knee.. medial meniscus is the inner part, lateral meniscus is the outer..
Mine was injured last week when i had an accident in PJ.. I didn’t feel the pain until yesterday. A slight movement on my right knee will trigger a deep pricking pain. Arrgghhh!! I shouted silently, not to annoyed anyone around me.. hehe.. but fellow readers, too bad you have to read all the negative stuff here. That’s something i didnt plan.. but I promise to feed something more interesting soon.. 
ok back to the lateral meniscus thing.. i took xray for both my leg this morning.. it was quite fast as everything completed at about 930am. unfortunately i have to wait for the orthopedic doctor to review the xray & examine my knee.. that one i have to wait until 2.30pm.. the doctor was kind & nice (he’s a guy so dont get me wrong), but i hate it when he bent my leg to find the source of pain.. Arrrgghhh!! I shouted half heartedly and there it is.. ‘lateral meniscus’ he said..
The tear was minor, so simple medication should be good enough to heal the injury.. unless the pain still persistent after 2 months, then scope has to be done.. i’m not sure if that’s the right word but he means is simple: punch a hole for a camera to enter.. eeeiiii.. scary maaaa..
I must go thru few sessions of physioteraphy, the first one is on 5th August.. the date has been set.. now i feel like a football superstar fighting against time to be fit again with the help of a therapist.. hahah..
