Fell down yesterday and probably tore my meniscus in left leg.

Hello guys.
I took the MRI and thankfully I did not sustain any damage to the meniscus.
I did sprain my ACL though.

Doc says bed rest for 1 week. No gym for 3 weeks and no leg days for 6 months
Brother,

That is "winning lotto" type news... I'm very happy for you!

It makes more sense—the way you stepped forward on the knee—it would affect the ACL. Just wondering why the McMurray was mis-diagnosed... but that's what the MRI is for. Money well spent, insured or OOP.

Take care of that ACL. Don't rush back in to train on it until it's fully healed. Then, ease back into it slow. You may get some quad atrophy (very little) from the injury, but your doc may have already prescribed a protocol to minimize that. I'll take short term atrophy over the alternative all day.

Let us know if you run into any snags, or if you just want to come back and brag how well its healed.
