Knee Is Improving

The liquid non-steroidal stuff ( Pennsaid - diclofenac) that the orthopaedic doctor prescribed for my knee pain is working wonders.  I can hardly feel any pain at all, the knee bends better, I can walk better, and it doesn't hurt when I sit extended periods of time.  I would definitely say it's a success.

MRI Results

Word from the fam doctor about the MRI -- meniscus tear and
deterioration, left knee.  I need to make an appt with an orthopaedic doctor and take the MRI films with me.  I needed to read up on what kind of treatment I might be in for, so I read these articles:

Update:
Have an appt with an orthopaedic doctor this week, taking the CD I got showing the MRI and report.  Also going to take a CD showing the xrays of both knees that I had last month.
