I Have a Bad Knee

After having kidz, my knees have steadily, and steadily gotten worse over time.

I finally got a doctor to listen to me and hear me out. I found out that the ligaments in my knees were loose and needed exercises to strengthen them.

Well, after several months, I hurt my knee while dancing. A partial mcl tear. A weak later I injured a ligament in my knee on the inside, on the left side.

So its been a while now.

My gynecologist told me it'd take 3 months to heal naturally. yeah right. More like 6 months or more.

So I'm resting it right now and am experiment with what i can and can not do with my knee.

I am trying to exercise but its hard.

Update ~

I went to my orthopedic doctor and he had an x-ray done. He noticed my bad knee, how much it hurt, and how swollen it was and he ordered an mri for tuesday and then a follow-up. I am very grateful that its finally getting some headway for my knee pain.

So very grateful :)
I went to my orthopedic dcotor

Update Update ~

My bones are good. My ligaments and meniscus in my knee are all healthy. I have slight edema deep in the center of my left knee.

So basically I overworked my knee. NO dancing :( . I have to be diligent with my anti-inflammatory pills, icing and having to return to OT. Should get better in 6-8 weeks.

Am thinking this might be from doing things too agressive/athletic for my body size.

arghhhhh. But at least I'm more aware now.


UPDATE AGAIN ~

My physical therapist now thinks i have loose ligaments, weak quads and bursitis?

It feels like I've been on a roller coaster ride for finding out whats up with my knee.
