KNEE: 3 Surgecal Operations, 5 fatal injuries - 1 Accident

Hello
today perhaps is the WORST day of my life
what happened is that i was exercising and fell on one leg and twisted my knee when landing on the one leg!!
i went to the best doctor
his words "Worst case scenario"
3 surgeical operations withing the next 1 year
problems within the leg
ACL (letgiment muslce something) - COMPLETELY uselss and need artificial replacement
EXTREME INTERNAL BLEEDING - something the doctor will do with that soon
BackKneeMuscle - this is the muslce you have at the back of your knee and this is ULTIMATELY destroyed
Round thing in the knee at the front- completely shattered needs new one
Extreme Bone Bruise- very painful and must self heal

All this not 1 bone break or crack
will not walk comfortably in 12-13 if not more

No motivation

:frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

If only i can turn back the time
im very depressed
seeing my injuries the doctor wont really explicitly confront me
from your experience can i play sports after this? Comfortably?

i need motivation folks

I used to be the tough guy at school, i was a symbol
they used to say watch out for hashem in football, they say hashem please go easy, now they have to go easy on hashem
now i will be the sissy

im depressed, infront of everybody this happened

i dont know what im asking for

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW just reading that made me cringe. You just have to imagine how tough people will think if you get through this. I don't think you arent motivated by what you said, you're rightly upset but see how it goes and take one day at a time.

"fatal"?

My sister had an accident which left her right leg with 5 breaks in the calf, and a dislocated knee. She has had 6 serious operations within a few years, and will continue to have problems with her leg for her entire life. If her leg doesn't improve, then amputation is the only other option.

Count yourself lucky, it could be worse.
Anyway, as long as you're strong you should be able to cope with it. You are likely to be assigned to a specialist who can give you more information and help.

I know it's hard, but try not to let it get to you. Good luck with it all.

It was a little dramatic for a twisted knee. Maybe its because his sports career is dead?

I guess you've never read the back of a packet of Ibuprofen?

I had a knee injury once my Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) ripped a piece of bone off inside my knee. I had 3 operations in the space of a year but after a bit of physio it was fine and doesn't cause me any trouble now. Good luck!

ACL = anterior cruciate ligament. I injured mine during a skiing accident and need mine reconstructed too. Good luck with it all, hope it all goes well and that you're feeling better soon :smile:
