Bud_Bent Moderator Posts: 3310	Re: Good luck Bud Reply #2 - Nov 14^th, 2007, 7:30pm Thanks, y'all. Let's wish Steve luck with his knee issue, too. He'll also be seeing a doctor tomorrow, and that has the potential to be a lot longer term issue than my surgery. Good luck, Steve! If all goes well, I'll be home tomorrow evening, and I'll post and let everyone know.

We will be thinking of you and Rose and praying for good tests and speedy recovery.

Bud,thanks for asking. The visit went very well. The MRI showed NO tears(meniscus or ligaments). It did show IT Band Syndrome(inflamed tissue & bursis ),a crooked knee cap(runners knee) & a bone contusion(??). So I chill for 2 weeks, then start PT & then maybe start riding again in 4 weeks.

The Ortho stressed to start back slowly. So the New Years day 200K is out. He wants me to work up to longer distances. So Peggy & I will ride in the New Rears ride in Blue Mound(37 miles).

Doesn't sound too bad. I wonder how the bone contusion happened. Don't underestimate the power of physical therapy. Hopefully, the pt will have you feeling much better, soon. Winter is a good time for reduced mileage anyway. Hopefully, you'll be back up to distance stuff before spring.

Steve, the "crooken knee cap" is very important, and what led to my surgery. Is the patella tracking on the medial or lateral side? My surgery was called a lateral realease.

It is common in runner and especially cyclists to have an under developed VMO muscle. The VMO muscle (the "M" is medial) is the quad muscle on the inside of the leg. If that's what you have, then be sure to have your PT show you strength exercises to develop the VMO.

I can help with this, as that's what I spent 4 month in rehab (after surgery) doing.

Good luck my friend.
