ya i'm just noob

As long as you realize this, we'll forgive it

MRI?!?!? what did you do?

I injured my knee at work on 6/11. Basically, I was reaching for something and then twisted to turn back around. Guess I still had weight on my knee while twisting, because I had instant excruciating pain and then couldn't walk on it for at least 12hrs. Have worn a brace since then and been in waves of pain since then. Some days its worse, though the past week its been mostly fine. It is painful to fully straighten my leg, and if I have it fully straight and put weight on it, I get a lot of pain and it buckles and gives out.

Honestly, the meniscus tear and surgery is a walk in the park compared to the bone grafting. That sucks and recovery is painful. The new methods with artificial bone graft are supposedly less painful, but they're no paper cut.

Haha, which doc are you seeing? Dr. Wilkins did my surgery in 2006. I get to call insurance to see my coverage in CO and if I'm covered, I'll be heading up there again for the same surgery, yay bone grafting...



And thanks for standing up for me jim! Tons of emotions going on right now and I'd hate to go off on someone here who doesn't deserve it

Outside of possibly out of network, they should cover it. Especially based on CLC's expertise, there are very few if any others i'd recommend. Make sure you document mileage, there may be reimbursement for you.

Luckily, Dr. Wilkins is contracted with my insurance, so they said I will receive my full insurance benefits for any appointments, tests and surgeries I will incur by seeing him (and the hospital he operates at is also contracted with my insurance so thats covered too). Now, I just have to wait for UPS to deliver my MRI to his office, for him to get back into town Thursday and then maybe I'll hear back from him via email.

Thanks for the tip on keeping track of mileage, wouldn't have thought of that.

And yes, after dealing with him in 2006, I don't want to go to anyone else. Also partly because there isn't anyone even remotely close to where I live that can do this.
