I had my appointment with the sergeant yesterday. After looking at all the results and x-rays of my back he came in and told me that my back was in bad shape but he didn't think it had anything to do with my knee. He got a report from the doctor that did my second opinion stating that the tendon that runs from the side outer side of the knee down and around the front is what's giving me the problem that it's irritated and swollen and he wanted to give me a cortisone shot, I told him that he had given me a cortisone shot the first time I was having problems with the knee and it did not do anything. And I asked him if there was any tests that can be done to find out for sure without guessing and doing certain things that probably would not work. He then told me that he could do 1 of 3 things a cortisone shot, or he can go in and debrief the knee or he could go in and release the tendon and clean out the scar tissue. I told him I didn't want to do anything until he knew for sure if this was in fact the problem so now he's getting me scheduled for an MRI so that he could see the tendons and the irritation around the knee itself. So now just waiting to hear back to have the MRI done.
