I had x-rays taken of my left knee today. An odd, temporary pain kicks in at times. When it does, I'm forced to hobble along, trying to keep weight off my knee. After a few minutes, if I bend at the knees and get the left one to pop (very loudly), then I'm fine. I can jump up and down on it as if nothing was ever wrong.
Strange.
My doctor suspects that I likely injured it during a hike, where it's not uncommon for me to slip on a loose patch of rocks, even when I'm using my hiking poles.
For now, he prescribed an anti-inflammatory drug to see if that helps my knee heal. If it doesn't, then I'll need to see a specialist. Ugh.

Yowtch! Hope it turns out to be nothing.
So far so good. Had a good workout at the gym with no trouble. I use the elliptical machines, of course, to keep stress on my knees to a minimum.
