Knee Update
I heard about the results of my MRI. The good news? No arthritis in my right knee. The expected news? A torn medial meniscus. The link has drawings and will probably tell you more than you thought you ever wanted to know about a meniscus, but I’ve had tears in both knees now, so it’s a subject I’m interested in. If you’ve had problems with your knees before, you might have meniscus tear problems as well. I first noticed problems with my left knee twenty years ago. It would bother me for a few months. I’d modify my exercise routine to bike riding or walking instead of running, and it would feel better. In September of 2004, it decided it had had enough and didn’t feel better in a couple months. In early April, my right knee did the same. It doesn’t feel better. I’m waiting for my referral to come through to talk to an orthopedic surgeon to decide what to do next.
Ouch.
