Knee issues
  • Thanks man. It's not so much to shut down the Ortho, but more to get advice about what to expect and how to deal with the changes moving forward. Medics tend to be obtuse, but people who have gone through the issue tend to have more detail.

    Appreciate your feedback!

  • Knee issues

    I know this is difficult to diagnose - it's troublesome in person also. I have intermittent sharp pain in the front outer side of my left knee that feels like someone took a hammer to the funny bone. Happens when I'm walking, particularly when taking a left bend, but sometimes I can run and play tennis with no issues.

    It's usually a case of shake it off, and resume activity after it settles. But once it locked up during the shakeoff and felt like a nerve was being pinched between the bones - close eyes rolling on the floor kind of pain, unable to carry the foreleg to straighten or bend further. This subsided after about 30 mins of stillness and carefully straightening the knee while applying lateral pressure to the kneecap. I was then able to wrap it up and call an Ortho.

    It's basically killed any momentum for my fitness regimen, and I'm dreading the next episode.

    MRI scan shows severe cartilege and kneecap wear, and a couple of loose bodies which we suspect may be getting lodged in sensitive areas, triggering the episode. Ortho plans to keyhole out the loose bodies, inject lubricating gel and recommends cartilege repair and stem cells on the site.

    Anyone have experience with something similar? I'm ok with the keyhole and gel, but the repair job would put me on crutches for a month, only returning to athletic activity in 6 months, which I'm not keen on.

    Any opinions/ advice?

    Bug? Clicking on comments in my inbox

    When I click on a comment in the inbox, the thread appears beginning from the comment in the inbox, i.e. my comment, which is needed to establish context, is hidden/ not shown. Is this by design, or is it a bug?

    Edit: an update fixed it! Thanks u/Veritrax!

    Anyone here on a 2nd hand EV? What has the buying/ ownership experience been like so far?

    Anything, really. But of particular interest is how the range holds up from the original stated, powertrain degradation if any, and other general stuff like fit and finish, electronic gremlins, weather effects etc. Thanks in advance!

    Anyone else watched the RG final? Thoughts?

    Carlos needs to get a grip on his lapses in quality. Damn difficult to watch him not knowing when it will come up. Otherwise he's a genuine pleasure to watch him when he's firing on all cylinders. Vamos!

    is this community for news only, or can it also be used for tips, questions,etc?

    As the title states. On the other site, tennis is for news, and 10s is for tips and technique. What does this forum serve?

    When did you realize that rich people live in a world of their own?

    May be an incident where they could not understand how much things they take for granted cost to the normies, a flagrant disregard for morals or ethics, a blatant show of arrogance or disconnectedness, or anything yould like to share.

    is there/ was there/ will there ever be a perfect album?

    Every album I've ever encountered seems to have a mixture of bangers and one or more meh or outright flops. It's easier than ever to skip over the tracks now, but as the question asks: what's is, in your opinion, the perfect album, or does one/can one even exist?

    In light of AI being trained on our data, why not comment in forums using images exclusively?

    Major hosts already support image links, and it'd be a good way to stick it to reddit et al. Especially if it looks like a captcha text. Or is it a matter of 'aint nobody got time for that'...?

    Need help identifying some growth.

    What is it? Seems to grow out of some wooden areas in the room. I've tried peroxide and bleach. Would a steamer help? Sorry in advance for the bad picture quality.
