knee report-MRI vs CAT!

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

I saw the rehab. doc yesterday. My ortho that has done three shoulder

surgeries and also specializes in knees has written me off after trying Synvisc,

some

cortisone which helped for a short time and a sleeve. At least this rehab doc

is still trying to help .

I had started pool therapy but even with being reeeeallllly careful, both

knees both continued to get worse. Over the weekend, I could barely walk

because of a litle increase on Thursday in the pool and it wasn't even something

that hurt as I was doing it!!

I have to have another MRI before I go back for any more therapy or get a new

brace for it. They both hurt in the same spot , the right worse than left.

This is the third MRI I have had on this knee!! There have been minor things

like grade one tear of meniscus (I think) and Bakers cyst (small) but the pain

is definately out of proportion to the old MRIs. I started last night wondering

if a CAT scan would be better. I know that so many of us have pain in places

that is worse than what objective tests ever say about it. I have very rarely

if ever had that experience though and that is why this is o wierd. They hurt

soooo bad and no one knows why. Just a few guesses ranging it from the Fibro,

the ligaments attach there and are irriatated, to some ligament that is torn

and has retracted. This better show something but I am afraid it won't.
