Thread: Off to get the MRI results

My DD had a collision with the second baseman at her first tournament this year . Pop fly to the edge of the infield and she was coming in from center and the second baseman was coming in as well . Neither girl was calling the ball and they got tangled up . Next thing I know she is laying on the field holding her knee . It was pretty swollen the next day but she could walk on it but when we got home we took her to the doctor to be sure it was OK . They didn't think anything was wrong with it but it just hasn't seemed to get any better even after the swelling went down so she had an MRI done Tuesday .

Anyway , wish us luck , hopefully its not something she needs surgery for .

Good luck, you did the right thing getting it scanned.

It's probably too late, but you should ask for a copy cd of the MRI. Always good to have your own incase you need to go have a second opinion.

Not too late GoingDeep, these days you walk in any time after an MRI and give em 12 dollars and they give you a copy of the MRI on disk in a few minutes.

The good news is they couldn't find anything wrong with her knee. The bad news is they can't figure out what is still causing her pain.

Did the knee twist or did it just hit straight on; did it hyperextend? Hit straight on is better of these and hyperextend is better than twist. Was the fluid on the knee clear or blood? Clear better than blood. There is a bursa sac in there. But the results will be in quick or in already?, not sure by your post.

Does she know now to call the ball? I really dislike these collisions and they can all be avoided; the CF is in charge of calling the ball over all other fielders.

Not sure what you would see on MRI, but could be bone bruise. Those hurt and take a while to go away.
