Re: Knee problems, conflicting diagnosis, MRI

[len]

Today I have seen the 5-th doctor. He was recommended for it's MRI
reading experience and various specializations on this topic. She said
that there are in fact some deterioration signs but there are also
some inflammation. A very wise thing she said is that the MRI is good
for showing some major problems. For unclear on small modifications it
is much better to wait some time and then do a second MRI for
comparison. This way the degeneration can be separated from
particularities of each person.
In conclusion I will try to do some exercises and take anti-
inflammatory while waiting for the sun, heat and second MRI. In the
mean time I also want to start cycling small steps each time. Driving
to the city and using the clutch all the time it's causing lot of pain
also so small cycling rides will not hurt. If there is pain I will
stop. Cannot wait forever in this state. Cycling gives me a degree of
freedom vital for my balance.

I have a similiar story. But pedaling for miles is out of the question.
Instead, I use a low speed electric bicycle that does require a bit of
pedaling from a dead standstill or up a hill. Sometimes, I just pedal to
pedal. But I have that option where a regular bicycle might do damage to my
left knee over a long period of time.

An MRI is really a lot better than a CAT scan since they use different
methods and can show different problems. I just heard that you better
not have any metal pins in your leg or the MRI can really get bent out
of shape.

Ya know the first most important thing is rest which you are not doing.
Give it a chance. What is the hurry. Elevate, ice and heat alternating in
buckets or gel packs. Getting served hand and foot. What a life dude. for
real it works.
no MRI specialist can do better.
