Anybody tear a ligament before?

[In58men]

Without ever knowing you did?

Apparently, I thought I recently had gout in my knee. The swelling would not go down, I knew something wasn’t right. Recently had an MRI to find out I have a partially torn ligament.

How else has this happened to?

[seclark]

never heard of blowin out a ligament with the gout.

worked w/a guy that had it and he was miserable when it had him down.

big man...6'7". could not climb at all when the gout had him.
don't eat shrimp.

I tore one in my knee several years ago. It healed without surgery, but I was gimpy for several weeks.

[BigRichard]

I rolled my foot under me going down the stairs and I heard something pop. I was gimpy for a couple of weeks and the foot is still pretty sore on the outer part of it and it has been a couple of months. I am thinking I probably tore something but I haven't had it checked out so I can't say that with certainty.

I did the same back in the early 80's during basic training. It seemed to heal on it's own but lately I have been feeling it now and then. It's hell getting old.

Lift with your legs

Pretty sure I've torn something minor in my knee at some point. Hurt a bit for a month, but not enough that I felt like I needed to have it checked out. Still can be active and play sports so nbd.

Also in both my shoulders at various points doing military press too heavy. Asked my doctor about that and he said as long as I have range of motion not to worry about it

Please to announce I’m not on Ed’s ignore list :)

Like I said in the OP I never had gout, three different doctors were wrong. Partially torn meniscus, no surgery required. Not even sure how I tore it. Played flag football on Thanksgiving and that night my knee started to slowly tighten.

Crazy how you can tear something without injury or knowing.

About 8 years ago I tore my right rotator cuff, felt it happen lifting weights over my head.

Terribly painful for quite a while and by far the most painful part was the steroid shot the Dr. gave me. It hurt like hell for weeks. He wanted to operate but after that shot I said no thanks. He told me I would never be able to raise my arm straight up again, but I have proven him wrong.

Took a couple years but with gradually increasing personal therapy on and adding more weight it is as good as it ever was.

Tore my satorius muscle, twice. Painful mofo.

[cooper barrett]

Torn , then severed in my bicep. Rehab was a bitch on both trips in but second was worse.

[In58men]

Welp, today I’m having surgery on knee. Never had surgery before, but I’m ready to be back to normal again.

[ptlyon]

Good luck man. Hope it works out for you.

[loochy]

Not a ligament, but I ripped my pec major and its connecting tendon clean off from my humerus. And I know exactly how it happened.

I guess my situation doesn't really apply to this thread at all.

But hey, soft tissue injury stories are cool!

OUCH. Good enough to share.

My knee is killing me. Doc says arthritis. Cortisone has not really helped. But I have been on the snowblower a lot. 10-12 inches in the last few days and I did many driveways.

Good luck on the surgury Inmen-The ones I have had made me feel better.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

I tore my hip labrum, no idea how or when.

[wutamess]

Had 2 meniscus repair surgery's (on on each knee). Both eventually went well. The last one Dr. said he took out 50% of the meniscus and stop with high impact shit for life or he'll be seeing me for a total knee replacement. I chanced it a couple of times but now-a-days take it slow and easy.

I SO wish I could chase a fuggin ball again. (I'm 41yo)

Mom and Dad both had both knees replaced. I’m so fucked.

I was told Thursday I have a torn meniscus. Waiting for MRI on confirmation. Not a clue how it happened other than age. Also said atrophy has set in on quad muscle, so it happened a long time ago. I go from running 50+ miles a month to barely able to walk. The joys of getting old.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Tore an ACL in high school. Had surgery and my knee still kind of sucks to this day.

Don't play football.

[Lex Luthor]

I tore my ACL and my PCL playing softball when I was 22 years old.

I knew I'd done something pretty bad, since I had to be carried off the field. Doctor said "It's not like you're a pro athlete or anything. You don't need the surgery."

Two years later I had the surgery. I decided that having a very unstable knee for the rest of my freaking life wouldn't be such a good thing.

[carlos3652]

Good luck! Surgery is fast, but rehab sucks, especially the first 48 hours.

Tore ACL in 2014 playing soccer in a charity event. Didn’t know I did it, thought I strained it, wore a brace and played KC Corporate challenge volleyball on it. Finally went to a doc how told me it had been torn for about 3 months.

Had surgery and 9 months later I did my first indoor triathlon - you will be fine as long as you take the rehab seriously.

Again, good luck ;)

[In58men]

Many times. Good luck. Stay away from the OXY.

[MOhillbilly]

I flipped over backwards in a chair at a titty bar and tore a ligament in my hand( thumb). Total buzz kill.

[Titty Meat]

Too much poor form on lifting son.

This is why I don't duck with squats

[Casyle]

Yep! Was playin' a friendly game of football with my highschool classmates when I intercepted a pass and landed on my right knee with all my weight.

I had to be carried to the truck, but gettin' hit in the knee hurts like hell anyways, ya know? So I thought nothing of it until I started collapsing at work the next year.

Fast forward 2 more years and a new specialist, Dr. Mendel, quickly discovered what I'd done. I had severely torn the patella tendon my right knee, and shattered some of the bone too boot.

Blew out my ACL about two years ago, had surgery in November 2016. Knee is finally starting to feel somewhat normal but I’m sure it will never be the same. Finally back running just this past January- did they take a piece of your hamstring as well for your new ACL?

They usually ask you if you want hamstring or patella graft. You don't take the hamstring graft if your thinking about playing sports or lifting on it. :D

[listopencil]

Not my own ligament, no.

Interesting because I’ll be lifting and returning to sport and I was given the hamstring graft.

[Why Not?]

Yep. I’m with you fellas. Partially torn meniscus about 6 weeks ago playing flag football. No surgery. Wore a knee brace and a heavy knee sleeve during any physical activity since. Feels mostly ok now.

[displacedinMN]

all of this proves we were not meant to live past age 40. Thank your caveman relatives for that.

We are making the human body do things it was not meant to do.

[redfan]

Before? No, it usually happens after.
