Knee trouble, going to see doctor tomorrow UPDATED

So my right knee has been hurting me quite a bit. If it is completely extended or completely bent does it hurts really bad. If I go from a completely bent state slowly to a completely extended state while applying pressure to the cap, it feels like there is gravel in there, or like the knee cap is scraping across a gravely surface. Does that make sense? My other knee makes a smooth transition, doesn't hurt at all.

My wife nagged me enough so I made a Doctor's appointment for tomorrow. She thinks it could be torn cartilage (meniscus) which would require some surgery and about 3 months of near inactivity, which is an impossibility.

Anyone have any knee pain/surgery stories to share? What was wrong and how long you were unable to go to work? My job constists of mainly sitting behind a desk anyway...

UPDATE Looks like I have Patellofemoral Syndrome which is pretty common. A knee brace, strengthening my inner thigh muscles, and diclofenac (anti-inflammatory) should help. Doc said I could have surgery to correct it, but the surgery would need to be repeated about every 10 years or so. Guess I'll just have to live with it, just like GERD.
 
WTH does being Catholic have to do with your pain? Geez, you people have to blame religion for all your problems in life. Grow up.

Lots of kneeling and getting back up again.

I think you need to get your funny bone inspected.

And so you can point me to a study that shows that people raised as Catholics have a higher percentage of knee problems? Yea right.
 
My friend went through said operation, and was able to get around. I have a bad left knee (not hurting a lot), probably jumpers knee from playing volleyball.

It doesn't matter if I need to get my funny bone inspected or not. The fact of the matter is that I am offended by these comments about Catholics, and I don't plan to put up with this crap on the Internet or otherwise. All I see now is a bunch of immature people trying to make jokes about a huge group of people that have their own beliefs. Just because I'm not athiest, I shouldn't be judged for my own beliefs. I thought ATOT was a bit more mature than this. Guess not.

You should probably get your eyes and brain inspected while you're there.

PS - There is much maturity in learning to laugh at oneself.

I do know how to laugh at myself, but I cannot bring myself to laugh at my belief system. Sorry.

So the truth offends you? Catholics stand and kneel a lot during mass. That's a fact. No one in this thread was poking fun at Catholics AT ALL.

Being so hypersensitive probably isn't healthy.

My GF is Catholic and has knee problems.
 
I was raised Catholic and have knee problems.

Hmmm...class action!

Damage caused by years of genuflecting. It could fly. :music: Money, money, money, Money!:music:

I was raised catholic and will pretend to have knee problems for money 😀
 
wow i didn't know making a slight joke about being Catholic would cause such an issue... it was supposed to be light hearted, i didn't mean to offend. most of the people in the thread picked up the joke about how you sit-stand-kneel 42 times during mass and how it could laughingly be related to said knee issue...

if my thread about knee pain with a small catholic joke offends you, DON'T READ THE FVCKING THREAD!! there are quite a few others you could be perusing that won't offend you... er, if you are that thin-skinned, ALL the threads on ATOT will probably offend you, so you're SOL
 
Jeez everyone seems to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Not only do you kneel a lot, you genuflect (sp) on your right knee, hence the right knee having more trouble.

Harmless joke.
 
yeah, i never know what to put in the... um... subtopic??? so i just threw something mildly funny in there, oh well

ANYWAY, if you have had knee surgery, what kind and how long before you were able to drive?
 
until the doctor tells you whats wrong you won't know recovery time.

Could be as little as a week and as long as a 6 months.
