injured knee

[iphorde]

I went down on Sunday when my bike washed out under me. I was on the throttle gaining speed out of a turn to hit a table top.

The bike never hooked up and my right foot was down and the bike spun out from under me forcing my right knee out to the left.

I felt a bad burning pain and then it felt fine for a bit. The next night it was hurting really bad. I went to the doctor and the X-rayed and said there is fluid and something to do with tissue damage.

They said to follow up with an orthopedic in a week if it didn't stop hurting.

Here is the problem it hurts off and on. How the heck do I know if something is torn or I need to be seen and waste the money?

It hurts on the left side of my right knee and has started hurting towards the top now.

I can walk on it.. any advise would be helpful.

Went to the Ortho knee specialist today. He is making me get an MRI. He said he feels sure I tore something. I find out the results on monday.

I will post more after I get results. He put me in a brace and told me to sleep with it on. Not sure I'm enjoying this.. I would rather have a broken bone.
