3. Have you had an MRI?

For about six months everytime I climbed stairs I had a sharp pain behind my knee cap and my knee would buckle a little.

Finally went to DR, had an MRI and it showed I had a tear in my meniscus cartiledge.

So I went in for arthroscopy and they removed the torn part of the meniscus, some arthritis behind the knee cap (also know as condromalesia, but they don't usually operate for that - but since they were in I guess) and they also said I had a partial tear in my ACL and they removed the scar tissue from that.

The pain that I have now is because I've been trying to do too much on it too soon, namely play softball - which is stupid and I'm going to stop playing now until it's 100%. I think all the damage was actually from catching for 3 seasons in a row - my catching days are definitely over.
