knee surgery upcoming
Well - I finally talked to the doc. The MRI was "unremarkable" for the right knee, but there are things visibly popping and rolling above the patella and to the right. I have arthritis/chondromalacia in the left knee - likely caused from all those years of being a ballet dancer and having major tracking issues with my knee (fixed with lateral release surgery) - also exacerbated by my big crash a couple of years back. Sooooo - I'm going to have diagnostic arthroscopy on both, so he can see what it really looks like in there. The x-rays and MRI do not exactly match up with what I'm feeling. The good news - the patellar tendonitis in both knees is almost gone. PT (with ASTYM) is working great for that! I love PT's!
The doc promises me he'll get me back on the bike!
