Went to let the Orthopedic have a look at my right knee this morning.  Doc took some pictures and inflicted decent pain with a series of yanks and twists.  Diagnosis, strained MCL with and a probable torn Meniscus.  Yep, I knew it hurt for a reason.  I left after about an  hour with a new, giant, knee brace and a follow up appointment in 2 weeks. Doc says he'll have another look and may suggest going under the knife.  Patient says "aint a knife getting within 10 feet of my knee." 

I'm supposed to stick to the treadmill or bike for at least 2 weeks.  Well . . . I'm confident this thing will improve alot in the next two weeks.

Should get an MRI. My knee was scoped in 2004 (meniscus), and I never regretted it. I would have never been an ultrarunner without it. After cleaning things up, I was back on top of Timp within two months.

Thanks for the input Davey. You're right about the MRI. I think that is the next step. Good to hear you had positive results and a quick recovery with meniscus repair. I have so many friends from my ski life who have had knee surgery and seem to have issues all the time with knee pain, so knives in Ortho hands make me nervous. But if things don't improve dramticly and quickly or if the MRI shows damage . . .well under the knife (or scope) I may go.
