sprains
well katie, i'm very happy for you not to need surgery so far as that one doctors opinion.... but let me tell you....something...we all have two personal doctors ..our left leg and our right leg....and the more you WALK not jog
which is harmful in the long run, excuse the pun...to your joints where as walking builds strength... use them often...only you can "feel" what you feel so you can be the judge in that case...for some decisions...the best therapy center has a walking pool and plenty of hydro-therapy equipment...and if not, choose one that does OK? that way you can have the best of both worlds.
Sprains however can sometimes be worse than breaks because they take longer to heal... keep that in mind and continue to wear your brace.
tell the gym teacher that you have a sprain and your going to study.
make sure to get light duty notes from any doctor you see...as thats what your paying for....and the teachers and school/work related supervisors want to see.

the docs dont want to do surgery cause even arthroscopic causes damage while they are in there.
They will post pone and delay until you are 50 before they do a knee replacement. Just be cause they dont want to do it.
My wife has gone through 4 arthro's. each time trimmed back torn medial miniscus (cartilege) her knee grinds, pops, and locks.
it swells up like a balloon.
She completed 6 weeks of cartilege replacement shotts about a month ago and is limping just the same if not more.
The docs dont want to do replacement cause of her age.
F That!

Keep yer chin up and keep looking for 2nd and 3rd opinions.
do NOT take the first one and live with it. And if the sole reason for no repair is age tell em to pound sand!!
keep asking questions.
start a journal and write down everything you do that makes it hurt more, or hurt less, or does nothing. Write down the weather too. (weather knees are for real)
I am very aggressive when it comes to my own health. I wish my wife was the same with hers. Some day perhapse.
