got some bad news.
I went to the doctor today about my knee. He said it is one of three things. One there is fluid in my knee causing the pain. He said it looked like there was. But he stuck a three inch long needle in there and found very little fluid. HE said it could be the cartilage is torn again. If it is they will not just clean it up again but to remove all of the cartilage which i think means to replace it. I looked online last year when i had knee surgery that is just a delay of a total knee replacement. Or he said it could be arthritis. Then he said lets up it is just arthritis. Does not sound good when he is hoping for arthritis. HE gave me a cortisone shot and said if it does not help he will do another MRI.
SO were see as long as i am good to go for next season.
Kinda worries me to get a total knee replacement i know a few people that have had it done and it not work out. Plus my weight does not help

RE: got some bad news.
I have a few surgeries on my knee also so I understand your concern. Dont worry if it means a replacement It will work out for you. I have had arthritis develop in my knee. I almost cant wait for another surgery so I can get it replaced but I have to wait a few years for that to happen. Anyway good luck to ya I hope it all works out.

Hang in there Tim 
hope the best for ya. just curious how old are ya?? I think knee replacements are very very last resort because im thinking they are only good for so long, 10 years seems to stick in my mind. I hope the best for ya bud. Is the weight loss still working out for you?? that one is the BEST thing you can do for it, get the stress off it.
