Hey. If you can get to Berkeley on Tuesday night, I'm attending a class on Sports Bodywork, with an instructor who asks us to bring in folks with injuries and problems. He's got 30 years under his belt and he can tell you what's going on with it and whether you need surgery or if you have less intense alternatives.

He checked out my friend [info]ladyjax's knee injury earlier tonight, and confirmed that it was neither her ACL or cartilage damage.

ah, thank you. i have a really good ortho sports doc. he's pretty stellar. i'm seeing him in the morning after having an m.r.i. on my knee. i can tell this evening that it's fucked up. last year i was able to recover really well in only six weeks after arthroscopic surgery. it's just... the first couple weeks sucked really hard, and that was with a great roommate and a mothering ex.

anyway, i'll see what he sez tomorrow.

PT is good. A CPM might help too - insurance might not pay for it but even a week of it can help with knee pain.

oh, hun. If it makes sense, bring up the option of going to that class with your doc. He might say it's a good idea.
Sharing tools, that sort of thing.

the knees. oh the knees.

Good sign if the doc can't find any problems. I know it doesn't fix the pain, but at least it means this is a minor setback ,and a reminder to keep at the phys therapy exercises.

sending hugs and liquor to heal ya quicker.
