Is there a doctor in the house?

Not a DR but I do play one on Tv. I had 4 knee scopes and you cant really see the marks. First is to ice it 20 mins on and 20 off as much a possible. Getting and keeping it elevated with some form of compression sleeve would be good as well. The more you walk around with it below your heart the longer its gonna take to start going down. Its unlikely you blew an acl getting up, more likely you has some small meniscus tears and that move pulled one open enough to bleed. Medial meniscus is the most common and blood supply is mostly on the outer edge. In that crouched position your weight puts a ton of load on that area getting up.

I'm placing bets on an MCL tear. Your front knee bent inward while you were trying to stand- right?

I did have a torn meniscus surgery. Down for two days, then light activity for 4 weeks, then back to normal.
I have no advice for your knee though. It sounds worse than mine.

But, I did have a Dr friend of mine tell me that most Doctors will accept about 40% on the dollar for “fast payment discounts”.

ie. leave the Insurance out of it, write a check after treatment, and costs can come down drastically.

Hell, once you get into your upper 40s you can pull a muscle sneezing. LOL

Yup. Every time I sneeze I feel it in the same spot on my back

I tore my ACL skiing years ago. The doc said it was about 90% torn. I was able to bring it back with therapy alone. My daughter tore hers clean through. She had to have it repaired surgically. They did a patella bone tendon bone graft to build her a new ACL. A little over a year later she ran the Boston Marathon and still runs (3 - 8 miles) today 20 years later.

Just remember...Surgery will fix the problem, physical therapy will bring you back.

The Dr. thinks he can have b=me back surfing by the end of the year so there that at least.....
