Oct. 22nd, 2021 02:57 pmI saw the orthopedist today and the news was good . . .
it's not the bones, it's not arthritis, it's patellofemoral syndrome and it's treatable entirely by PT.
I'll even get to wear real shoes again at some point.
Apparently walking doesn't exercise your quads, and mine are atrophied to an extent. I feel like my legs are strong, but it turns out, not in this regard.
So I had PT booked for next Tuesday morning anyway, and I now have a much more thorough prescription.
And eventually I'll be back to normal. I just can't neglect my quads anymore.
