I'm hoping that after the CAT Scan tomorrow that more will be found out. The x-ray was inconclusive except that it showed narrowing joint space.

I have an Orthopedic Appointment already scheduled, & have already gone through one round of PT.

My primary complaints about my knee right now is the periodic popping of the knee when walking/moving the knee & the inability to normally go up & down stairs/bleachers.

Ice became my friend early on as a athlete. I did 3 varsity sports in HS (Captain for XC) & did summer league Basketball. I trained for races out of HS. I went through 6 months of PT, etc. after my patella dislocation/ACL tear. I had been training for the Salt Lake Marathon at that point (I was single then). Maybe one of these days I can go back there & run it, as well as run Bloomsday.
