Take two Aleve & don't call me in the morning
So I saw the orthopedic dr. again this morning. He tells me that the MRI of my knee looks normal - just a little fluid build up due to irritation. He thinks that I have age-related degeneration of the cartilege (spelling?) behind my kneecap. Running will not make it worse. So he says to go ahead with the program - it's OK to jog, walk, swim, do yoga, whatever. He just recommends continuing with Aleve & icing my knee after running. I don't need to see him again unless it gets worse.

"Age-related"?--sounds harsh!
Yeah for Aleve! I also found (for my foot) that an icepack that fits into a sleeve that can be wrapped around your boo-boo and fastens with velcro is a really handy thing to own! (This after many experiments with frozen peas and other conventional methods that wouldn't stay in place unless I was as still as death!)
