Karate Injury Twisted my left knee while performing a reverse crescent kick with my right leg last February..a loud click sound, and I went down to the floor...about a week later I felt ok, but had a reoccurance at left knee during a minor regular crescent kick with right leg, louder click, more pain, I go down instantly. Stopped karate, took it easy, went to rehab for 3 to 4 weeks out of the 8 week healing required for a torn meniscus (they didn't know...just an educated guess). About 8 to 10 weeks later I twist the left knee again during right round-house kick to sparring partners head; I collapse again, more pain than 2nd time...now a full week later still having trouble walking. Will see ortho Dr. on Monday 7/19/04.... I will ask for the MRI, but I am hesitant about the arthoscopic exploration/surgery....I want to continue karate, Ice skating ...just walking normally without pain sounds good today. Input welcome.
