In early December, I twisted my knee and found it difficult to get home. It hurt for about 5 days when folded, without any pain at rest (but I could still walk). 1 week later I went to school in peace and even went to sports. After 2 days of rest at home, my knee hurt again and I went to see a professional orthopedist in Sofia. He gave me some tests and a picture, and said that it is possible that the meniscus or anterior cruciate ligament was affected, but it will be clear after an MRI. Now I walk quite normally and I do not feel any pain either in activity or at rest. Now I have 1 week left for MRI and my question is - IS THERE ANYONE WITH A SIMILAR CASE? AND CAN THE KNEE BE RECOVERED WITHOUT SURGERY? (I'm not an athlete, but I have more or less healthy muscles ... I'm a former athlete) ... And let me add ... I'm 15 years old.

The doctor may have misdiagnosed! Ha ha. This is a common occurrence! You need to be absolutely sure which doctor you trust.
I agree with 1. In Sofia orthopedics there are doctors who are not up to standard. I don't want to blame them, especially since I'm not aware of your case, but you really have to be very careful who you trust. Once you no longer feel pain, things may have subsided, but it is also possible that your knee will become a focus or the pain will appear in the future. Seek a second opinion, I have 2 leg surgeries. One was in Sofia, was unsuccessful, and was unnecessary and completely unprofessional. In general, a medical error, orthopedists scared me a lot and said that the operation was necessary, but it was not. Be sure to seek a second opinion before going under the knife. I hope I was helpful! I hope everything will be OK! N. Ts.
FROM THE PUTTER OF THE TOPIC I hope there will be no medical errors, because I am a patient with "connections" with the most influential doctors and I hope that more attention will be paid to me, but as you mentioned - mistakes also happen .. :))
Hello, my acquaintance experienced the same thing as you two years ago. In the beginning it hurt a lot, she applied some gels, then it passed, then it hurt again. So it lasted 3-4 months and was operated on by a very good and famous surgeon, the operation itself went smoothly, he recovered quickly, but now 1 year later he admits that there are still moments when it hurts a lot. And by the way, her diagnosis was confused twice. I was working with orthopedists this summer, to be honest, I didn't see a capable one. My relative is not told how much they confused the diagnosis and treatment. So wait for the MRI, see what comes out, I advise you to consult another specialist just in case, consult with your parents and make a decision. But my advice is to wait a few months, even though it hurts. I had a similar injury and months along with great pain and arrangements to cut me, but it turned out to be a completely different problem and I passed like a dog by itself, I was not for surgery at all. Success Bad
I had a similar problem a few years ago with a twisted knee. Two orthopedists told me that I had to operate on him because of a torn miniscus, I did an MRI. I did not have surgery, my knee recovered in about a year and a half, but I was very careful not to twist it again. The knee is a hermetically sealed capsule and any medical intervention leads to depressurization. Now I have no problem with it, I even load it with sports. My advice is to wait for surgery you can always do. When a miniskirt is torn, it sometimes detects your knee and this has never happened to me. And I know a lot of doctors and friends, I have doctors and they would cut me for nothing, a doctor I knew stopped me well because I listened to her.
And to add I'm 35 now the incident is from 5 years ago with me and I was very ill I could not get on my feet for about a month maybe, my leg had become double.
I agree with number 6 - it is very important that once the knee opens, it is no longer the same. Wait until you understand how it is. Otherwise, there are many surgeons who like to cut and operate, and their patients are always connected, someone has referred them .... Be careful that such people can create big problems for you for life.
