MCL Tear
 

Last nights softball game, I gave myself a grade II tear on my MCL. I was rounding first, went to stop, Left foot slipped on the wet turf.. Right knee bent sideways.. POP is all I heard.. I stretch back to first.. and am yelling for a runner.

I walked it off as much as I can. Finished the game. Had some beers with my bro in law at his place after.. I hobble home and in bed. Wake up this morning.. Stiff.. I can not move it.

I call into work, explain. I go to the doctor and get x-rays. That is when I learn about the tear in my MCL.

Light duty at work. I deliver batteries, Not for two weeks now. Also, 3-4 weeks before I can get back into softball.

:td:mad::(:sad

I'm sorry man.. hope you get better soon.
Maybe smoke some extra cigars, that should help with the healing process. :)

Re: MCL Tear
 

That is what I was thinking.. I am finally home.. from the running around for all of this.. And I have just pulled the cooler out to find a smoke.

Re: MCL Tear
 

Sorry to hear this Garry, yeah smoke some, it seemed to help Sevans.....here's to a speedy recovery.

Just fired up a PDR Oscuro!

Dang that really sucks Garry. But it makes it easier for you to be a zombie since they lurch around and drag their bad leg behind them.:D

Re: MCL Tear
 

That sucks Garry, did a complete ACL and partial MCL a few years ago, surgery and 6 mos. light duty :td

Re: MCL Tear
 

True. By tomorrow I should have the walk down to a tee.

Re: MCL Tear
 

Sorry to hear brother.

Re: MCL Tear
 

Sorry bro, sounds like your on the mend.

Re: MCL Tear
 

I feel your pain as I tore my acl about three weeks ago. Good news is you don't have to have surgery.

Re: MCL Tear
 

You got the lurch.....and probably the moan too....

Sorry to hear man....being hurt sucks. Heres to a speedy recovery!

Re: MCL Tear
 

Sorry to hear about that Garry. Hope you get better soon!!! :noon

Re: MCL Tear
 

Wish my MCL tear came without surgery. Best of luck on a speedy recovery. :tu

That sucks Garry. I had a buddy a couple years ago that failed to stop a fly ball before it hit him in the face during a softball game. He had a perfect softball size dent in his face for a week until they could fix it. He still hasn't lived it down.

Re: MCL Tear
 

Take care of that thing brother. I tore a rotator cuff a few years ago. I would have never guessed soft tissue damage could hurt so bad for so damn long. Two years to heal.

Re: MCL Tear
 

Work on quad strengthening. Your quads will atrophy like crazy over the next few weeks. The stronger they are, the more they will protect the ligament and stabilize your knee.

Re: MCL Tear
 

I am so glad no surgery!

Curious to see that.

I think mine is on the fritz.

I have been told that so much today. I am going to research things to do and work on them!

Re: MCL Tear
 

Best of luck healing quickly, Garry. :)

Re: MCL Tear
 

Hope you heal up quick Garry. Sounds like a good time to enjoy some sticks!

Re: MCL Tear
 

That sucks Garry, at least you don't need surgery. Enjoy many smokes during your downtime.

Re: MCL Tear
 

Sorry to hear brother...get better soon :tu

Re: MCL Tear
 

Feeling better today. For sure not as sore as yesterday.

Re: MCL Tear
 

Hope you feel better, Garry.

Re: MCL Tear
 

Not to bad for a whole days worth of work. Feeling good. Going to finish eating and grab a smoke... RELAX!

Re: MCL Tear
 

Get better brother!!
