    I had a torn miniscus repaired 6 months ago and while I was walking up a hill 3 days ago when I felt something give. Within 3 hours I could not walk or bend my leg. Above the kneecap is the central area of pain. I am waiting for MRI authorization however my doctor thinks it is a ruptured quad. I am particularly concerned about an insurance buracracy delaying authorization because I hear time is of the essence for an effective repair. Any insite would be appreciated.
