That is rough. Hopefully it is not as bad as it is thought.

Sometimes you have to get those things out in the open. It's a shame but the body can heal.
Take care Rob.

A little update and a question for the medical types out there. I'm still waiting for my MRI to get read, but I have seen 2 different docs. The first told me that I had arthritis and to stop running. The second said I had a knee cap/cartliage problem, to stop running and there was nothing they could do.
I just find it hard to believe there is no treatment to help me. I considering a 3rd opinion cause really neither of these guys has given me 1 piece of advice or offered a remedy as to how I can recover or get better.
Is there really nothing that can be done?

I have no idea in your particular case, but I it seems more commone for a general practitioner to say something like that. Try to see a sports med doc, particularly one that is a runner or triathlete or works with a number of them. Find out from local running clubs, etc who they recommend.

I agree with kyillee - A sports Med Dr. comes at it from an athletes point of view. They also seem to be open to alternatives rather than the quick easy diagnosis. The last time I went in - the first words out of my Dr's mouth once he figured out the issue was how to alter my training as I healed to keep me moving. Of course each situation is different - but another viewpoint may be a good thing.

Here I am back from a year overseas and ready to have a good year. My wife got me signed up for IMFL and I was set to kick the year off with the Music City Marathon along with a few shorter races this summer. I've been planning this season for over a year...
Last Monday I ran and lifted upper body w/ some core work. Tuesday I ran and my back was tight so I ran easy. Wednesday I swam and Thrusday was my brick, after getting off the bike I ran less then a 1/4 mile and turned around. I had pain in my knee and it was super cold and I was in short sleeves and shorts. I took the weekend off because knee hurt and we had alot of stuff going on. I popped motrin and iced and felt better for my monday run. I got no more then 100m and went straight to the medics who sent me straight to the docs. They are pretty sure I tore my MCL(pending an MRI). This is the same knee I tore 3 ligaments on in '99. So now I dread another surgery and another missed year.
Thanks for letting me vent.
