Less than three months into my roller derby career, and I have apparently screwed my knee up. I saw an orthopedist last week, and he thinks I tore the lateral meniscus. I had an MRI today, and should hear something back soon. I think surgery is the only way to fix it since the cartilage won't repair itself due to the fact that it has no blood supply, but I'd gladly undergo a relatively simple arthroscopic procedure if it meant I'd soon be back to normal. I've been limping around on this thing for a month now, and have gained back four pounds of the weight I worked so hard to lose.
