I got my knee x-rayed yesterday and it showed moderate osteoarthritis, or cartilage break down. My doctor suggested that if we x-rayed my other knee and hips we’d find the same results. At least this explains the joint pain that has been progressing over the past few years.

There may be some damage to the tendons/ligaments on this knee but we won’t know that without an MRI. I’ll be going back to the doctor in a few weeks for a follow up. Until then I have to rest the knee, put ice on it and wear a stylish knee support.

When it’s healed I can start exercising again. It looks like kickboxing is out for good, though. Darn, I really liked that class! But taking care of my joints is a bit more important. My doctor suggested swimming.
