Fuck my knee injury has been the worst roller coaster I’ve been on in over 5 years

Saw a very experienced orthopedic trauma doc today - he did my friends (pro golfer) full patella reconstruction last year

Essentially said his view on the MRI is that he doesn’t think there’s a meniscus tear and if there was, it’s so small he wouldn’t even be able to find it in surgery

Said MAYBE there’s a cyst leaking fluid that could be causing my symptoms, but once again that’s just a reach and he says surgery would be a shot in the dark and he doesn’t recommend it

On one hand, it’s good thay there’s no structural damage. On the other, it’s really frustrating to be experiencing symptoms with no clear cause and no known solution 

Making a couple more appts w/ more ortho’s and continuing to gather as much info as I can
