So here’s what happened. August 5th 2020, I was standing in front of a couch (my left leg was touching it, knee around the seat, I was facing down the length of the couch, left knee touching couch, right knee facing rest of room). My brother approached me, so I turned my right leg and body towards him (now left foot is facing forward with my hips, but chest and right foot have turned to the right to face him) and he lightly pushes me by the shoulders I assume to make me sit down onto the couch as an annoying brother does passing by. However since my left foot was planted, when I fell/sat, my right knee bended regularly as I sat but my left knee made three loud pops as it was forced to bend, not at the knee, but towards the inside of my leg where I assume the meniscus is. I couldn’t get an MRI, knee so swollen in the bent position my foot couldn’t touch the ground for a month and half and I eventually left canada to go home (diff country) where I got an MRI and spoke with heads of orthopaedic deps, as well as head of physiotherapy at one of the biggest hospitals. They essentially said, ur 20, you don’t have any major sports to play nor movement to do since everything’s online so let’s PT and build ur strength. By Jan I was bending down to get stuff out of the fridge. By April ‘21 I was doing burpees (carefully). Came back to canada and around Nov/Dec my knee started hurting again. It progressively got worse despite my keeping it warm and Pt. Now it hurts when I sit cross legged or stand or bend down. I can but it’s tender and very noticeable plus I even get pain when I press lightly on the inner side of my left knee. So I met my fam doc and for scheduled for an MRI and lo and behold my doc calls me and says there’s absolutely no injury? Is this possible? They themselves said if it was a mensical tear it’s not possible to heal like that but the MRI shows absolutely perfect ligaments. They weren’t there in the other country obviously so don’t know my original condition but it was traumatizing. Also, my first mri was an hour long but the second was fifteen minutes. Barely. I attached my original report, I don’t have details but this part I screenshot Ed so it was in iCloud and I’m copying it’s text. I’m in pain and my doctor isn’t helping Al all. Any advice?
