Meniscus or mcl?
about 2 weeks ago i was warming up for a soccer game and i felt something pull or release on the inside of my right knee when i kicked the ball with my instep. it was sore i but i still played in the game. I practiced for the next week with minimal pain and it wasn’t a big deal. Then a week later in our next game it started to hurt again and the next morning i woke up with quite a bit of pain and it hurt to straighted my knee. i have taken the last 4 days off from practice and have started biking which does’t cause too much pain. The pain is more when the foot is in the air during a step…not so much as i step down, although that produces pain as well. the rest seemed to help the pain so am i healed or will it come back when i play? i have another game tomorrow and am planning on trying to play but will i just hurt it more? any advice on what to do or what this could be would be greatly apreciated. i was thinking maybe MCL or meniscus injury. Thank you!

well i played in the game and hurt it once again. i went to my OS and he said it was a torn medial meniscus. i went in for an MRI the next morning and the results came back negative. i have heard that MRIs can miss certain tears and was wondering how likely this actually is. i have the option of finishing the season w/ a brace and then going in for arthroscopic surgery. is this a good idea or will i just injure it more? any advice or comments on what the healing time is like from a knee scope would be apreciated. thanks again.
