I've been struggling with knee pain on and off for more than 10 years (yes, I know I sound like an 80 year old). In May, I went back into physical therapy because the pain had gotten worse. After 12 weeks of physical therapy and a shot of cortizone I was still at the same level of pain. Along the way my brother, who is a physical therapist, said he thought I had a torn meniscus. My PT brushed that diagnosis off and the M.D. who initally consulted with me also didn't think that was the case. Well, guess what! I had an MRI yesterday and it showed that I have a torn meniscus! I'm waiting to get an appointment with the surgeon and in the meantime have probably just set myself up for hearing, indefinitely, about how brilliant my brother is...

Oh, Emily, I'm sorry about your knee but at least now you know what the problem is. I don't know much about that kind of surgery but hope it can be fixed faily easily.

What a smart guy that brother of yours is. His wife must be one lucky lady!
