Diagnosis

Well, today I went to the TMC and finally got my MRI results. It appears that I have patella tendinitis, and that treatment for that usually last from about 4 to 7 months. So right now I am on a 3 month profile, and they gave me a wonderful knee brace. I went and did 5 miles on the bike in the gym, and even though my knee is killing me, I think the brace really helps. Now I'm just icing it to try and get the swelling down.

So that's what it is! And treat-able, I hope? I hate to think of someone so young having a bad knee of her life. I hope now that it has been identified, that it can be cured.

Same here! I go in for physical therapy again on the 29th, and find out if there is anything else I can be doing to try and help the recover. If it doesn't improve, they mentioned that surgury may be needed, but I'm hoping that would be a last ditch effort.
*Sigh*
