Bones

This Monday, during PE lesson, I dislocated my right leg's bone again. It's been happening ever since I was a kid. Every time I sit cross-legged or put my leg in a similar position, I might dislocate the bone.

Anyway, it happened again this Monday, after not happening for quite a long time now, and I popped it back into place by straightening my leg as usual. Was left limping the rest of the day.

So I decided, that's it, I'm sick of this happening again, so I went to get it checked. The doctor at the clinic had absolutely no idea what was wrong, so he referred me to a specialist at Mount Elizabeth hospital.

Met the doctor yesterday noon, right after school, and he said that I have discoid meniscus. Normally, this won't affect people much at all. In fact, there are athletes out there who has this condition. But if mine seems to be bad enough to cause dislocations, so I'll just have to get rid of this condition.

Went to Lucky Plaza to get both my knees MRIed. Though initially curious about it, it quickly turned out to be a boring and noisy process.
