Jackie Mulligan <JackieM1982@...> wrote: Hello List!

My name is Jackie, I'm a veterinary technician and

college student in land.

I've had knee pain from about the age of sixteen. It

has become progressively worse, I am now twenty. There

is a lot of grinding, popping, and cracking in my knee

joint. The grinding is loud enough for people in the

room to hear easily. I can also feel the grinding if I

put my hand over my knee and flex the joint. Also, I

can feel " things " moving in, out, and around on my

knees that I cannot feel on a normal knee. I

experience pain going up and downstairs, sitting,

walking, and standing for long periods. It's worse in

the morning, and after I run. The pain feels like it

is under the knee cap, in front of the joint. I also

sometimes have pain on the inside of my knees. Both

knees are affected, the right is worse than the left.

There's no history of acute trauma to my knee. And no

history of chondromalacia in the family. I have been

horse-back-riding for ten years, but have only

recently started running.

Does this sound like Chondromalacia???

Thank you for your time!

Jackie

This sounds very similar to the problems that I have with my knee and

I have chondromalacia. Mine is due to a tracking problem with my

kneecap and the fact that my kneecap is very low and rubs against the

joint. My tibia is also out of alignment. As a result of all this I'm

facing a Tibial Tubercle Transfer surgery this summer. I have all

kind of noises-popping, clicking, cracking and I have pain under my

kneecap. Like you, there's no history of knee problems of any kind in

my family. I'm the only one who has problems like this. I'd suggest

that you see a doctor who can tell you what's really going on with

your knee. Good Luck!

Jodi-

Welcome to the group. Sounds like you have a great pediatrician!

Sorry to hear your little man had to have surgery, but sounds like

he is much better as a result!

There are a few parents here who have banded their babies at

Stanford. With Collin starting treatment so young, you should see

some very fast progression :)

Again, welcome to the group!

Hi Jodi!

Welcome to the group. Wow it sounds like you have a great ped! You

should see some excellent results from the STARband. Your son is at a

great " younger " age. Please let us know how he adjusts to his new hat!

Once again welcome to the group.

Hi Jodi & welcome to our group!

Thanks for your great introduction. It's SOOO nice to hear of a

plagio aware Dr. who helped dx your son & get him treatment. That's

all too rare in our group, so I love reading stories like yours.

You could not start treatment at a more perfect age!!! Just 3.5 mos

old? WOW, Collin should be in & out of his band in no time with

great results.

We've had several other members in our group go to Stanford for a

STARband as well.

It's very nice to have you with us. We look forward to hearing of

Collin's rounding head in the weeks & mos to come :)

let us know when his band is in & how it goes.

Jodi,

Welcome to the group- so nice to "meet" you too! Poor Collin had a rough start with the surgery at 3 1/2 weeks, that must have been hard to go through. He should receive great correction with him being so young when he gets the helmet. Keep us posted on what type, and the name, its always interesting to hear of the differing helmets out there. Good luck!

Hello, everyone. I found this group the other day while doing a search

for places to possibly eat or buy extra food while camping at Big

Basin State Park next week. It's been a few years since we've been

there but I do remember a store in a small town-I think it was New

Leaf or something. This time we are going with a GFCF diet in mind. I

have a child diagnosed two years ago at age 3. Upon learning about CD

I realized it was my answer to health problems that increased after

she was born(IBS, Fibro, CFS and Sjogren's)and I had a positive IGA

and IGG and a biopsy with " insignificant blunting of villi " . Genetic

testing was also a confirmation. Needless to say, I am doing much

better these days. I lead the Central Valley Celiacs group which

covers a large area(Merced to Lodi and into the foothills) and

averages 15+ people at meetings twice yearly, though I expect it will

increase with medical community awareness. So it is nice to have

contact with more people in the California area! This is definitely a

place to visit on a regular basis.

Hi and welcome to the group! It's great you lead the support

group in your area.

I know you came to us by looking for places when you're at Big

Basin...any luck besides the local store? Perhaps someone here can

offer additional advice.

I look forward to hearing more from you in the near future.

Thanks for the welcome, Carla. I did find some restaurants listed in

the ICORS mailing list archive.
