Has anyone tried getting their knee cap scraped to smooth to help the knee cap move smoother. I went to physical therapy last night (Aquatics with Ultrasound...
I had my kneecap cleaned up the same time I had my lateral release. I have gotten "off the record" advice that the doctor that did the cleanup used a razor...

As far as I know, locking is caused by loose tissue getting caught in the joint. Could be part of a turn meniscus, or a plica, which is extra synovial capsule...

Oh yeah. I guess at a Ritz Carlton he'd have wireless access, and as long as the generator made AC, they'd have "regular" electricity. ... From: JOYA To:...
Thanks every one. I had an MRI. At that time, they said no loose bodies seen. However, I am wondering now. I check thoroughly. ... From: Ann Stewart...
MRI's don't always show everything. CT scans, esp. 3-D ones, are much better, and they're also cheaper. However, a CT scan is an X-ray, so you have to weigh...
Hello everyone, My name is Brenda and I'm new to your group. I've read through quite a few posts already and think I will probably learn much more from you...
Hi Brenda, Welcome!!! I was thinking of going for another opinion myself, this would be my 4th opinion, or is it my 5th? My current doctor says that women...
Thanks for your reply. It helps just knowing I'm not alone out there! My physical therapist did try taping me a couple of times and it didn't seem to help at...
To what extent does your knee pain limit your activities? I had the same problem standing on a hard floor that you did. Also there was one time I was driving...
Hi Ann, Thanks for your help as well. I am writing these things down for future reference. I will ask the doc about a CT scan, and no I haven't had one of ...
It's beginning to sound more like a torn meniscus or something else rather than chondromalacia (esp. since the taping didn't work -- I'll send you my writeup...
Hi Ann, My therapist wondered if there might be a tear inside they didn't see on the MRI. I don't know how that could happen, but I suppose anything is ...
Yes, it's definitely possible for an MRI not to show something. As for tearing a meniscus w/o knowing it, that's what happened to me. I think the cause was...
My MRI showed a torn miniscus and surgery was scheduled to repair it, when he got in the meniscus was fine, he did a LR and cleaned up my knee cap. Strange how...
I'm astounded he did a LR on the fly but I'm not surprised by the misread MRI. I think these misread MRIs are the result of cut-happy surgeons. Doctors make...
He may not have done it on the fly. My last OS noted in his surgeon's report that my patella was laterally subluxed, so apparently they can tell that from the...
My experience has been like Mike's too. Except that I haven't run into all that many doctors who give a damn about my mobility. Ann ... From: Mike Bernhardt ...
Just out of curiousity, how many doctors have you all been to see before you found one willing to help. If I go for another opinion this will be my 5th one....
The seventh OS I saw in the last two years (including one at Mayo) did the first two arthroscopic surgerys on me. The eight one (recommended by the sixth OS...
Mike, was the Portland surgeon good? I live 100 miles from there now. I can't remember what all you had done & why you needed so many surgeries & what your...
Hi Ann & Shannon, I feel so horrible with all you've been through. I can't hardly remember what my first military told me other than there really wasn't much...
Unfortunately, I am in the position that every doctor I see "wants to help" so much so they want to jump into surgery first visit! Forget all the MRI's and...
