I had a visit with Dr. Boyer this morning. He checked me out and then wheeled in the ultrasound machine. On ultrasound, my hamstring tendons looked perfect (i.e., no tendinosis), but I might have a medial mensicus tear and/or tearing of the coronary ligaments that attach the mensicus to the leg. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my MRI, so now I've gotta have it mailed to him. Depending on what he sees on the MRI, I have three options: 1) prolotherapy on coronary ligaments; 2) PT to strengthen up joint; or 3) get another MRI. If the therapy doesn't work and a second MRI is negative, then I'll have to get the knee scoped. But what I really hope happens is that my knee/leg contines to get better or that they'll just scope my knee and fix the tear. I don't want to do anymore therapy.
I ran for 20 consecutive minutes last night in the pouring rain. I had some very minor pain/achiness to start and then it subsided. I guess it still feels off, too. At least the cycling isn't too painful.
