Re: comfrey leaves/meniscus

February 23, 2005

hi peace,

the meniscus on the inside of my right knee tore (3.1/2 years ago).

it was bothering me for a while and i didn't know it was partly

through. at work my knee would lock up and had to manually pull my

leg out and then i could walk again. later i kicked a piece of

plastic cover aside, not weighing a pound, but the movement made my

knee stick out sideways ........ and had to crawl to the phone for

help. this was a different pain and i couldn't get it back to

normal. after the operation,(fixed it instead of removing) it took

me a good half a year to walk again and had a limp for almost 2

year. i got used to things this way and it started to get better,

until last year when i got to aggressive with my knee and ripped it

again, same as before. now i know how to undo the locked up knee, if

that happens, but i'm very careful not to have it pop. i haven't had

a problem for months now, but squating is out of the question, since

that will pull the piece of meniscus between my kneecap en my upper

and lower legbones. like a pencil between the door, it won't shut.

i run and walk and have no problems. it is starting to feel more

solid, but that migt be becaue i haven't injured it for a while. an

operation is my last resort, first i want to try this and i can live

with it this way. we'll have to see how things are in the future.

thanks, rik
