I got a brief cycle in this morning! / myLot

I am still trying to rehab my bad (left) knee. My medical insurance is finally in order, so I don't have to worry about that. But my Dr. keeps suggesting "physical therapy." I'd like an MRI and a "scrape job" around my meniscus. Right now the knee does not hurt, but I can feel fluid heading down toward my left ankle. I could barely get my left shoe on for Guitar Center. We'll see what happens. Wish me big happy fun with my students.

Did those shots you talked about happen and/or help?

@lilacskies I was bending down to pick up a fallen guitar pick when it happened.

I blew it out during the Summer. Nothing spectacular happened. I just could not walk without extreme pain.

@TheHorse How exactly did you blow it out during the summer? Were you walking and it just happened? How unfortunate. I'm so sorry. I hope you fully recover soon.

Fluid heading toward your ankle does not sound good. You might need to have it all checkout out again and/or insist on an MRI! Have fun with the kido's!!

Maybe I'll call an advice nurse. They tend to be more helpful than doctors.

If your PT is covered - then just go! At least they'll assess and give you the exercises that could help . . . but then it will be up to you to keep doing them (too many people I know just give up). If you think you already know what's up with your knee, there are tons of knee PT videos on YT for specific issues (some work, some eh - you have to test it out carefully). I've been doing that for over a year for my stupid knee . . . thus far I can go up and down stairs again and twisty motions are way better . . . but I still have to watch it.

@Deepizzaguy Today was a difficult day for me. I teach several developmentally delayed students on Tuesday, and it IS draining. But I will "soldier on."

@Kandae11 Cycling seemed to help. My left ankle still has fluid in it, but the knee does not hurt.

Yuk, I am wondering how you did so much damage to your knee?

I have been playing competitive softball all my life. Maybe I did not stretch enough before games. I am not sure.

I agree. To me, I am a valuable human. But to Kaiser, I am an old guy who they hope will die before they have to pay for more suguries. I understand that.
