You know your getting old when... you tear your ACL by twisting your knee a funny direction.
OK, in his defense he was doing something manly- you know the usual- Riding Dirtbikes.
He went riding the day after Christmas, and his foot got caught and it twisted his knee funny. BAM! Torn ACL! As most men do, he didn't want to go to the doctor- you know... it was going to just go away with some ice. :) But after a few weeks of pain and it not getting any better he decided to go to the doctor.
The Doctor confirmed his suspension... Torn ACL. He ordered an MRI to further diagnose any other issues.
MRI revealed not only a torn ACL, but also a bone contusion (see left side)- That is what was causing all the pain. Nothing that needs to be addressed immediately so he just decided to just brace it for now and have surgery and physical therapy come Fall.
Goodness Gracious! Boys will be Boys!
