In an Arnold voice: "It's not a tumor!:

1. Tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.

tear to the rear of the knee. hardest part to reach and repair. because the knee literally has to be dislocated to be repaired. dut to the femur and tibia being in the way.

2. Mild ACL sprain.

A mild ACL sprain is when the anterior (an-teer-e-or) cruciate (kru-she-ut) ligament in the knee is injured. A ligament is strong elastic tissue that connects one bone to another. The ACL connects the tibia to the femur

3. Low grade chondromalacia patella.

when the knee rubs against the other bones on the trochelar groove..because the articular cartilage has been worn down..normally the bones would glied smoothly ..

4. Small joint effusion and popliteal cyst.

joint effusion (fluid within the joint capsulewhioch hinders movement in the joint to a certain degree


Thanks,

John

The prognosis is surgery next Friday, the 13th... Going to go remove the tear. He said the other stuff will heal with time and therapy after removing the tear.
