Just received the results to my mri on my left knee. Not good, its a season ender :crying: I was trying to be positive and hoped that the ER doctor that told me it was a "severe sprain" was right. He couldn't have been more wrong.

MRI Results:
Fractured Knee
Torn ACL
Torn Medial Meniscus
Tore the Tendon that runs behind my knee
Fluid in the joint

:banghead: Have to set up a meeting with a specialist and go from there. But I'm sure surgery is in my near future.

sorry for the sob story,
Brad
 
Proper rant.. Damn it must suck. Just hope that you get the quickest possible recover...
 
Oh that's horrible news...hope you have a safe recovery.
 
Yep, that will require surgical repair. Been there done that man and I'm sorry. The rehab is the worst because it takes so long.
 
general, i know it's quite a trip for you but, my aunt knows the orthopedic surgeon for the NY Jets(located in Morristown, NJ)...if you want i can see if i can get you the info? the guy is fantastic and did both my grandmothers' knee replacements. sorry to hear that man, wish you all the best on your recovery...
 
Sorry to hear that I wish you luck in your recovery.
 
Hey man my thoughts are with you. Hopefully it's a quick recovery
 
thanks for the well wishes everyone! Its just been a rough day since I heard the news, but I know I will recover and be back shaving strokes from my game! Gio I appreciate the offer thats an awesome gesture, but I have a family friend that is an ortho so I should be in good hands. Just dreading being feeble and needing help to do the simple things I take for granted.
 
Get the surgery done, hit the rehab hard over the winter, and you'll be good to go for next golf season. The harder that you work at rehab, the better off you will be in the future!
 
UGH, I'm sorry! Knee injuries are not fun. Get it done and keep up on PT and rehab

I must be a freak I tore my acl and meniscus 8 years ago and no surgery. I can play golf and run that's it anything side to side and I down for a month. I should have the surgery! Good luck with the recovery work on that putting and short game after you can walk good luck bro!
 
Sorry to hear this. Best wishes and prayers for a full and speedy recovery.
 
sucks Brad hopefully your recovery is quick and you can get back out better than ever next season.
 
'Sorry to hear this! I've had 4 knee surgeries and a knee replacement. Like everybody says, have the surgery, hit the rehab hard, and you'll be all ready for next season.

BTW, Morristown is excellent, but if you can get to Special Surgery Hospital in NYC, they're the best.
 
Good luck with the surgery and recovery. I only got to play once last year after a serious meniscus tear, and have had several knee surgeries in the past. You definitely should get on with the surgery as soon as possible so you can be rehabbed and ready to rock when next season starts. I'll throw in a recommendation for the guy who did my knee, the head of Orthopedics at Johns Hopkins. PM me if you'd like contact info. Again, good luck!
 
Man that sucks but get the surgery, do the rehab & hit 'em back up next season. You'll be glad you did. I hobbled around for a while on a worn out knee & it was no fun.

That really sucks. Good luck with the recovery!
 
Sorry to hear that man, I've been there 4 times and each time it sucked hard. good luck on the recovery and the rehab

Thanks everyone! Mary and Shark: Maybe I will make it to the get together for the 19th hole, we will have to play it by ear and see what the situation is. Def want to see everyone, its been too long!
 
Gods Speed my friend.....you will be back on the links!!
 
So the final verdict has been reached. Surgery Aug 27th. My acl is ruptured. I will be having Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with cadaver parts and cartilage clean up. Soon as I can comfortably stand and walk I will be on the putting green working on my short game the rest of the year!
