definitely get the MRI on your knee, that should tell a lot. i will say that i dislocated my patella years back and close to a year later the MRI showed really severe bruising on the underside of the knee cap and that was very painful. it did eventually clear up though, but it took a long time. i had other issues that were fixed surgically, but the bruising just took a lot of time. so time may be your friend here, though i'm sure you're like me and want to be better now!

How's it feeling drtgrl?
When I did a stupid thing on my motorcycle and ran my knee into the side of a minivan at a combined speed of 70 mph, it was swollen for weeks. I think it was water on the knee, there definitely seemed to be a sloshy pouch of fluid involved. Is yours anything like that? Electro-stim helped bring it down finally, after four or five weeks, and it's none the worse now.
