Thanks MP! Yup - probably will have PT for a month or so. It depends on what he finds when he goes in and has a look around.

He said this is the first time he's done a second lateral release on someone and expects a lot of scar tissue to get through. I'm not sure what that says about me and my knees. This guy is the LSU athletics orthopedic - he's surely seen a lot of knees! You should have seen the look on his face when I told him I had been a ballet dancer for 8 years (causing the initial injury). He said ballet was worse than football! Yeesh!

The last time I had a lateral release, I lost almost all range of motion. That's not fun to regain. And I'm 17 years older. At least I have a good PT!
