Hopefully you get a full diagnosis. It may be degenerative and make sure to ask all your options. Also bring shoes that you wear often so he can see sole wear pattern.Hey Niner and anyone else........seriously struggling here with the knee and work related busyness. Still getting in an easy calisthenics/shoulder rehab workout at home most days but probably won't be back to the gym until next week.
I have an appt with my ortho doc on Monday so we'll see what the prognosis is I guess........not super encouraged right now but trying to hang tough and maintain the strength I've gained over the last couple of years!

Thanks niner on the suggestion about bringing shoes, never would have thought of that.
Continuing with my home workouts although yesterday I took the dog for a short walk instead. Just trying to maintain some level of exercise for now. Should have time to get back to the gym next week so I'm looking forward to that.
Have a big party here on Sunday so I'm just spending today and tomorrow getting ready for that.
Have a great weekend!0 -

Got a 2.5 mile walk in this morning with the dog so that felt good and heading back to the gym in the morning for some weights and maybe the stationary bike.
Niner, results of MRI show a moderate meniscus tear, severe arthritis and not much cartilage left so I'm not in great shape. He gave me a shot of cortisone to see if that helps and it has already so that means the pain is primarily from the arthritis (inflammation) and hopefully also means I'll be able to deal with all of this by postponing surgery. He also said surgery would more than likely need to be replacement if we do anything which he knows I don't want.
He said we'll take baby steps and try other things first. I'm not happy but I am 95% pain free for the first time since the end of October so I can't really complain can I?
I'll still put my workouts in here but I won't be quite a active as I was before. My plan is to walk one morning, workout at the gym the next and then take a day off and continue with that pattern until I go back to the doc in a month. If it seems like the pain level is still okay I'm going ask to see a physical therapist and see what they have to say about what I can and can't do and how to use the knee in the best way.
Thanks for your support and words of encouragement.0 -

There is still the option to get collagen injections in your knee. Might want to ask about it.

Doc mentioned that as an option depending on how things go. He said insurance will pay for them after we've tried cortisone first.
Do you know people it's worked for? My son had them and didn't think they did much and were quite painful.0 -
I've had 3 that had it done, however they were lightly active people. All 3 said there was relief and that they although they are repeat treatments, the relief for the time it lasts is worth it to them. I don't know what the results would be for someone who's much more active.There is still the option to get collagen injections in your knee. Might want to ask about it.

Nice to see you back @MSJFH, we missed you! I'm sure you'll get back into your routine in no time and I think sometimes it's not a bad idea to take a break!
@niner, I love white elephant gift parties. We do that every year with my husband's side of the family. I got two 4.5 lbs blocks of chocolate from Trader Joe's this year, one milk and one dark. Luckily my daughter was able to re-gift them to a couple of her friends so they're gone. SPAM!!! Not sure I'd know what to do with that.
Took a rest day today and going back to the gym in the morning.
