Well I saw my doc yesterday and passed an X ray: it turns out my cartilage and my meniscus might be affected, plus I got the beginning of OA which I never thought I would have at my age. I knew it would eventually happened, but I had been told in 20-40 years...So I am really depressed about this. I am going to take an MRI soon and see the doc in two weeks, so we'll see what it reveals. I have a feeling I'll need surgery...It's a congenital problem apparently, thanks to my genu valgum I am prone to this plus he thinks my cartilages are soft.
I drank a good glass of red wine yesterday and took a long, warm bath. I am feeling better and trying not to be too bummed about this. I haven't had a break in like 5 years...What I might be having in the left knee might be what I had in the right knee, which was a crushed cartilage...
