Ok, Good news is that my knee doesn't have to be cut on........right now. The other bit of good news is that I am still young and you are, well, old fuckers.
I have "normal wear and tear" on my knee. He said that since the pain is where it's located and by looking at the xrays that we don't have to do the knife, at least for a while hopefully. I have to do some physical therapy daily for the next 3 months. So some guy came in with that rubber band thing, showed me how to do my exercises. Since I am not "heavy" according to the doc, hopefully we can get my quads to limber up some and not cause as much pressure on my knee. If it's better in 3 months, we drop to 3 to 4 times a week. Bad news is eventually, the knife is going to be the only option, but not right now. He said that should be the last option we explore.
The little Xray tech was smoking. I really couldn't work this into the conversation though:
Yeah, um, you're kinda hot and some people from the Internet would love for me to snap some pics and post them, what do you say?
For the tl;dr people:
No surgery, will come later in life. Physical Therapy will hopefully take care of this. Xray tech was hot, but no pics.
