 Posted: 02/15/06 - 14:40 Post subject: Going under the knife on 24 February
undergoing arthroscopic (sp) surgery to repair a torn medical miniscus (sp) tear in my left knew. All therapy and cortisone shots were unsuccesful. My doc is the US Ski team, knee doc so I figure he knows what he is doing.
Hopefully back in time to run my annual fall run down Broad Street.

did the MRI show it to be torn? Cortisone didn't help reduce the pain?

yes. Not much pain, but unable to run. Cortisone did not seem to help with the running either.

I've had that surgery twice on the same knee. Best thing is it's a relatively speedy recovery time. Best of luck, Joe!
