More fun with the knees. VA doc found out I had torn almost all of my left ACL when he performed an arthroscopic lateral release of the left patella back in Jan. I figured out the time line that I had torn it on a freak landing at Ft. Campbell in August 1988 while in 2/75. The docs didn't see any bones sticking out or blood spurting so they gave me motrin, ice and 2 weeks light duty. Guess sports medicine wasn't big in the army back in those days.
That is in addition to having to deal with the cartilage under the knee caps degenerating to bone-on-bone grinding. Feels like an ice pick stabbing down through the left kneecap and a jagged blade being shoved under the right.
Working on getting a consult with Steadman/Hawkins Clinic in Vail, CO.
