Apparently I tore my medial meniscus. Yay me! I have no clue how I did it, but a couple of months ago my knee started cracking really loudly when I would go up stairs or squat or lunge or whatever. At first it didn't bug me, but then it started hurting.
Today I went to the doctor to see what was going on. They took some x-rays and everything looks okay there. Then Dr. Cooley pushed on this one place on the side of my knee and man did that hurt! Like blinding pain. So, yeah. I tore some cartilage.
It's been getting a little better on its own so if it keeps going that way then I don't need to do anything with it. But if it gets worse again, I will probably have to have surgery to fix it. Blech.
I would vote for NO SURGERY! Take good care of yourself.
