    Thumbs down possible partial ACL or meniscus tear

    Any one had this? I think i tore mine playing volleyball on monday night.


    Here's some of my symptoms:
    -cant straighten my knee without pain
    -feeling unstable/painful when doing anything other than walking straight forward
    -pain is felt under my kneecap
    -didn't hear a pop or snap while playing, but have had pain since i stopped
    -anything weight bearing is out of the question (standing on it alone)
    -walking up/down stairs causes pain


    I have an appt with a sports medicine doc on wednesday to get it evaluated, but i'd like to know what others think.
    Know the Rules:
    1. Cardio; 2. The Double Tap ; 4. Wear Seat Belts; 22. When in doubt Know your way out;
    31. Check the back seat; 32. Enjoy the little things

    Depending on the severity the only fix for a tear of the ACL is a replacment.
