I was stationed in Stockholm, Sweeden at the embassy and I ran 5 or 6 days a week and my knee suddenly started to hurt and swell. I saw an orthopedic surgeon who said I might have torn carteledge. He said the orthoscopic surgery would be the diagnostic tool as well as the treatment. There was no tear, so the doctor just clean up the knee with a device that looked like a combination roto-rooter and blender blade. For the next week my knee "squooshed" as the water used to blow the joint up slowly left the area. I began to run again in about a week and was doing my usual 15 mile long Sunday runs from my house to the King's Garden and back in about two months. The pain slowly disappeared, but only after I started to add a weight training regimin with weight machines. I haven't had any more problems with that knee. Now, I have metatarsalgia -- runners can never win... I'm a long distance runner and I had orthoscopic surgery on my left knee.

The first rupture was the result of a skiing accident, and the second time I retore the repair playing tennis. I have tried to take up golf the last couple of years but due to the torque on the left knee have decided it's a bad idea(unless I play left handed). Hope he has better luck, sounds like he is being smart and taking his time gettng it back up to full strength at least - worry that long term he may suffer from knee problems though given the amount of stress he's placing on it.

I had both done at the Cleveland Clinic by a very reputable surgeon. Unfortunately, unlike Tiger, I did not take enough time to recover. This resulted in my second and soon to be third surgery. I believe he is making the right decision in not swinging a club; once he does, as we have seen throughout his years, he will not stop. I am sure he will come back with more passion and enthusiasm than before and amaze us all for year to come. I'm an ex-collegiate wrestler who has undergone two knee surgeries.

I watched every minute of that tournament even the play off on Monday, I was cheering!!! Knowing and witnessing his tenacity and determination, Tiger will not fold to his temporary state. He knows how to fight and fights to win. He will once again be the exception. I LOVE TIGER!
