What kind of treatment can you do? Will surgery fix it?

She said nothing surgical they can do . She recommended Cortisone and PT .
Cortisone seems like a slippery slope to monthly shots for the rest of my life . She recommended a couple exercises that help with the alignment of something in my knee which helps the knee cap slide smoothly like it should so iv been doing those . Well see how it goes

Last time we were out, it would try no wake flips. One didn't go well at all. Dont know why, i think i didn't commit enough, and maybe due to the water and weather being really cold i ended up upside down (like 100 times before) but got sucker punched by the pole, through my downhill helmet.
Could have been much worse though, the helmet deff saved my head for stitches.

Went riding on lake Michigan during a small craft advisory (later turned to literally a death hazard) with consistent 9-12 footers on a stock superjet with stock turf and no footholds. Hucked a wave in front of my buddy, lost my feet and in fear of losing my ski to a break wall i tried to get it back. About 15 feet of air with my shins breaking my fall on the tray and ride plate. Took 17 stitches to sew it up

While out wake jumping the guy on the Kawi ZXi 1100 couch didn't listen to a word I said when I told him to keep his distance, did NOT want to get into a crash. His claim was I landed a straight jump wrong and took a spill...but IF he LISTENED lol...he would have seen that well in advance and not jumped the wake. Well...he did not listen, he was right on my tail when I landed and he landed on top of me...or more accurately on top of the left side of my head. Gashed me open just enough to require 6 stitches, 3 months of severe concussion and partial memory loss. My short term is just horrible now and the long term prior to 21 is spotty at best. Although I did not think about or even realize helmets were a way to go, about 8 years ago I started getting into wearing one and will not ride now without one...even got more of the lads in my group to appreciate them, now they won't ride without one either 
The season before last I tore my gastrocnemius (otherwise known as calf muscle). It is the larger inner portion of the calf. Thing is I was just cruising along at about half throttle looking at the shoreline scenery when it tore. It at first felt like I was hit by a stray bullet, the pain is sharp and immediate. The more I thought about it after the fact, the more I recalled that it felt like stretching a slingshot to maximum draw, then the rubber strap snaps. But that is actually a very near exact description of any muscle fiber. It has an outer sleeve with an inner cord called the actin fiber. That is what does all the contraction and when it tears, if it is bad enough like mine it snaps up tight into a ball. I have an awkwardly bulged calf muscle now. This is apparently a common jogging injury for people in their early to mid 40's...I seem to be rushing things though since I'm not quite up to 40 yet lol.

Not from riding a stand up, but a Blaster. Got a inch size hydrocelle in my sack from trauma while jetskiing. Going in for surgery on tues to get it removed.. If it wasn't for wife calling me a mutant with three nuts, I might just as well forget about it. But it does hurt too. Lesson, protect those guys down there.

With all this ball talk I'm happy I don't have any!
Got my first cortisone shot in my knee today. Tore meniscus and MCL on my SXR and had surgery 4 months ago. Knee still ain't right.
Not a fan of steroid shots but thought I'd give it a try for the first time at least and see if it could get me over the pain hump and rehabilitate the joint properly. They wanted to do them in my back before I got surgery and I said FK that put me under and get it over with!

I'm not afraid of needles, but it was the classic huge dripping needle before he put in in that made me think of the movies. My knee just poofed up like a water balloon. The body is so weird.

You're not kidding. How is it that the sniffer when you are down with the plague, can be stuffed up totally to a point where no air goes through yet a gallon of ooze can run like a maple tree in early Spring...and probably fill the same size bucket! Seems to me if the boat has the plug in it, water should not be allowed to flow lol.

OMG - I don't know why I scrolled through this whole thread!
I have had my fair share of injuries, broken bones and surgeries. I just finally hung up the boots and said the hell with racing motocross after 20 years and got a nice stand up jetski thinking this was going to be safer and more forgiving.
My biggest worry is that I think I'll generally be riding alone, since I live in Northern MN where no other jetskiers live apparently.
