Parts of my kneecap have no more cartilage, my kneecap is way out of alignment. I don't have much of a femoral groove, that's where your kneecap lives. So my right kneecap is trying to escape and make it's way to the side of my leg. I can't go up or down stairs without pain -- it was bags of fun when our elevators went out at work, I'm on the fourth floor.
For now I'm doing PT, NSAIDs, and probably cortisone injections. Doc thinks these are just band aids, eventually I will need surgery. Even with all of this, he's pretty sure that down the road a few years, I'll need a knee replacement.
Oh well. At least he's not making me quit Team in Training....just have to avoid hills.
This is kind of what my knee looks like.
