Deal is...<br><br>
I met with the orthopedist yesterday regarding a new knee issue I have developed on my right side. Stiff after sitting awhile and weird pains/unstableness when pressing down on a bike pedal, or kneeling down. After all the manipulation the Dr did, the pain was not in my knee, it was in my rt hip and the knee issue might be related to the hip. He took x-rays which showed nothing in my knee or hip. He threw around the possibility that it may be a labral tear, and ordered a MRI, and gave me the option of having an injection. (I have not scheduled either yet.) After doing some research, most people dx with a labral tear have pain during the run/workout, and have some clicking noise, I haven't had this. I looked into this last summer when I competed 6 weeks of pt for a strained illio-psoas. When I asked for another round of PT he quickly dismissed this. I also learned today that this Dr. likes to cut.<br><br>
So here are my options...<br>
1. Injection and continue to slowly build back my mileage, see what happens<br>
2. Injection and insist on PT, and slowly build my mileage. see what happens<br>
3. Go ahead with MRI, (keep in mind these are not real accurate with the hip) (also, in CR Labral Tear thread in the medtent they talk about a MRA?)<br><br>
4. I have taken 3 weeks off, forget everything medically and hope that my three weeks off has taken care of all the problems! <img alt="hello2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello2.gif"><br><br>
Comments/advice welcome, or feel free to PM me, or ask for more details!!<br>
Thanks!<br>
