Altered Gait...wasn't that a movie with William Hurt?

A Meniscus tear for a fella your age with that kind of trauma wouldn't be all that unusual, but it is odd they didnt catch it at first. Maybe the ankle was just so bad it masked the other problem. Sorry your luck didnt improve yet, but you'll get there.

I would have had to tell them to look at it.  The ankle was so bad, I didn't really realize that it was bothering me until I had the surgery already and I was rolling around on the cart.  At the time I thought it was just the position that I had my knee in while I was on the cart.  It's been two weeks since I've gotten out of the boot though.

I'm waiting for them to return my call at this point.  I'm just not sure if it was result of the original fall or maybe (hopefully) just some residual pain from the PT after not using it for two months.  I left a message explaining my dilemma and I'll just wait to see if they think I should come in and have it checked out.
