UPDATE: Omar's Day Playing Soccer. . .

[omslaw]

When I left the ER last night, they called it a sprain. This is mainly due to the fact that the Xrays were negative for a fracture. I need to call my Orthopedic Surgeon today; I'm sure they will want an MRI to see if anything is torn.

In the meantime, Percocet is all they gave me

It helps some...

What did you do? Twist it? Somebody fell on it what happened?

I was charging the ball. Planted my left foot and the next thing I know is I hear a *POP* and my knee is going one way while I'm going the other! On the way down, another *POP*!

After I was carried off the field, waiting for the ambulance, I saw that everything looked 'normal' other than A LOT of swelling. My guess is that I dislocated it and the second 'pop' was it going back. Everyone said that they heard it - they called it 'impressive'.

My daughters were there, also. They didn't enjoy seeing Daddy hurt like that...

Wow, Omar that looked bad.  Rest is your best friend at this point.  If they recommend physical therapy, go and follow their advice.  

Hope you heal up quick,

that will make it feel better.

 

[NINJA KILLER]

Omar , Sorry to hear about your mishap. Bro I wish you all the best & hope for your quick recovery. Holler if you need anything!!!!

 

[PDBusa]

Hopefully it's not miniscus/ligament damage. "Pops" are never good sounds on the soccer pitch.
Stay off of it as much as possible until ortho sees MRI. Hope you feel better soon.
