Vibes needed for my son.

[bluesbassman]

As some of you know, my son is a high school football and lacrosse player. During the recent football season, he injured his knee and it turned out to be a torn medial miniscus. He had it scoped in November, and seemed to heal fine, enough so that he was able to start playing for the lacrosse team. Last night, while simply running out on the field, his knee popped, and he was in severe pain. By the time he got home he could barely walk, and it was pretty swollen.

I'm taking him for an MRI this afternoon, and I'd like to ask you all for some vibes that this turns out okay. He's a really good kid, with a shot at playing college football and he's taking this pretty hard. Thanks in advance.

4. Update.

MRI came back showing another tear, so it looks like bluesboy will need to get the knee scoped again. Hopefully this will get it and he'll be rehabed in time for football season.

Thanks for the vibes.

9. Ouch!

knee surgery and scopes are not fun!

[bluesbassman]

13. So true.

He's really bummed because the lacrosse season just started. Well, at least it wasn't horrific news, and he'll be able to play football next season. Thanks oshy!

19. 9 hours later. I hope you got good news on that MRI.

That's an injury to be concerned about, considering. My best to you and your college football bound son.

[bluesbassman]

21. Thanks flvegan.

The doc is pretty optimistic, and he should recover fully. We're going to take rehab slow and easy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear bluesbassman!

Biggo vibes for your son!

I saw the update, and I hope that he will recover quickly and as easily as possible...

:hug:

[bluesbassman]

22. Thanks Peggy.

He has a discoid medial miniscus, and the center area is where the damage has occurred. He's young and in good shape so he should heal quickly. Just need to rehab it correctly. :hug:

[BlueIris]

23. Good vibes....nt.

[bluesbassman]

28. Thank you Lorien.

Well, it could have been better news but all things considered it's pretty good. He should be ready to go for next season. Thanks for the vibes!:)

26. High-school football is the source of about 90% of the knee injuries suffered by

young American men. But don't worry too much, OK? I have several rogue chunks of medial-mesnicus cartilage floating around one of my knees (which, the same, features a Teflon kneecap), and have successfully dodged the recommended surgery to remove those little bastards for over ten years.

Listen: When I was young, I played football until my brains fell out. Played semi-pro for $75 per game, even, for two years. For years thereafter, I couldn't watch it on TV because it made me ache, wanting to play again.

Your son's leg is more important than any game.

29. Thanks Redstone.

Yes, and as a linebacker and fullback, he gets his share of hits. You are right, and my first concern is for his long term health. As much as he loves football, it's not worth being crippled for. His doctor is one of the best around, as is pretty conservative for a sports injury guy. He is convinced that the boy should come back 100% so we're feeling a lot better than we did this morning.
