Okay, I FINALLY got the knee x-rays back and I called doc today and said all is normal!!!!!! I still have pain. So what test is usually next? I did a 4 hour presentation at work Monday and that night knee and mid leg swoll up. Iced and went down and better now but I can stand like that for hours or do any high impact like SPIN which I love. I can only walk on treadmill. What Tests and what should I do beside nail mouth shut to prevent wt gain???

You could ask for an MRI.
In the meantime, you can try using knee braces while standing or exercising and see if that helps.

Get a referral to a specialist in knees. Often (and I recommend) a rheumatologist is the one who will check it out, aspirate any fluid, and make recommendations. Other folks go to orthopediists for it. Don't just keep visiting your GP. My doc has made a note that if I come back with any knee swelling, he will refer me, no more wasting time. I had Synvisc injections several years ago (they last a few years) for arthritis and wouldn't hesitate to repeat that treatment if needed, but that's for arthritis - not tears. My arthritis is definitely there and I am cautious about my movement - like an OLD LADY!! :laugh:0
