Knee update

So, it turns out that I broke some cartilage off my kneecap and it is just floating around getting stuck in places it shouldn't.

So the good news is, my ligaments are fine, the bad news is I have to get surgery to get the cartilage out. Also my kneecap isn't sliding centrally because one muscle is looser than the other, so my orthopedist is going to fix that too.

Fortunately, the surgery is arthroscopic, so the recovery time won't be very long and I will only need PT for a few months.

Anyways, I am also posting a picture of my MRI. The part with the circle around it is one of the pieces of cartilage that broke off.
