<link>http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2009/02/knee-bone-bruise-treatment-diagnosis/#IDComment41012625</link>
<description>Hi 05/09/2009  went off motorcycle landing on left foot, leg straight, knee &amp;quot;gave out&amp;quot;. Hospital x-rays showed nothing. 05/13/2009 diagnosed lower leg blood clot approx dia of quarter, length of calf  2cm below knee to ankle. On warfarin, blood work weekly.  Did physio, ultrasound, manual massage &amp;amp; lymphatic drainage. 06/25/2009 MRI done. Results-disconnected ACL, torn MCL, tear to LCL, damaged lateral meniscus, subluxated patella, significant tibular bruising.  Rehab Jun-Aug, stopped as physio on vaca. On crutches 10 wks &amp;amp; cane since. Meds - Tramacet (37.5mg tramadol &amp;amp; 325mg Tylenol) + 500mg of Tylenol morning &amp;amp; bed but this week greater than normal pain now taking every 4 hours. Use ice pack, try to keep leg elevated at work, but today hurt so bad couldn&amp;#039;t bear weight part of day. Since injury almost 6 mo. ago, wondering if pain due to bone bruise. What do you think? Surgery needed, knee &amp;quot;loose&amp;quot; just standing, 1st ortho stated knee is &amp;quot;wonky&amp;quot;. In Canada, things move a little slowly, awaiting consult w/ 2nd dr. who does ACL repair. Any info appreciated. Hannah </description>
