I have to get a bone scan on my foot because I might have a stress fracture. I had to beg a prescription from my doctor for vikes because it was throbbing so badly this evening.
Also I have an MRI tomorrow for my right knee looking for a meniscal tear that's not there. I should know-I have had the MRI done three times previously looking for the same thing.
is your knee really swollen around the knee cap area? i ask only because they thought my roommate had a meniscus tear as well (she's a dancer), and it actually turned out that the sacs of fluid were badly inflammed and she needs to do PT to strengthen the muscles - all triggered by falling on her knee cap one day in class. maybe that's what's going on with your knee too - hope it gets better though, i've watched her struggle because of the knee pain, it takes a lot out of you

Yeah after looking at the MRI and after cutting my knee open for my ACL surgery the dr. said he never saw meniscal damage. I know my knee pops and clicks a lot though. I think I have a floating kneecap or something.

No it's swollen through the entire joint. I'm taking celebrex twice a day for the inflammation. Last year I had a lateral release done (after a year of excruciating pain that no one would/could fix!) and they said that my kneecap had softened and there was a small crack in it. I don't know what they'll find this time. Personally what I feel is necessary is a hamstring tendon debridement. I know my knee and leg are weak. PT isn't going to get rid of the inflammation though, it just makes it worse. I know this through experience. I'm not ranting at you, just in general because doctors frustrate me.
