For the past couple of months I have been dealing with a knee issue. The first month I was just complaining that my knee was bothering me, but then the pain got worse. A few days before Thanksgiving I called my doctor and ask what she thought and she told me to come because she did not want me flying until I got checked out. The doctor told me she "thought" that I had a Baker's Cyst and if it did not get better in a month I would need to come back in and see a specialist.
A month went by and my knee still wasn't any better and the pain was keeping me up at night. A few days before Christmas I went to see another doctor (a specialist) to get x-rays and see what my options were. Turns out that I do not have a Baker's Cyst--I have a Meniscus Tear. There is a whole list that the doctor gave me of things to try and if it still bothers me the next step would be surgery.
I am crossing my fingers for no surgery! As soon as I get back to San Francisco I will be going physical Therapy.
Good luck I know how painful knee injuries are. I've dislocated my right knee, hyper-extended my left knee and they both pop out of place every now and then. Mind you these injuries happened over 10 years ago... next stop for me is surgery but I've been putting off cause I hate going under the knife. Anywho hope all goes well!!!!
