This whole business with the unexplained knee pain is really starting to wear on me. Seriously. It’s getting worse by the day, and before too long I’m going to be totally wallowing in self-pity (and I really hate self-pity).

I started going to physical therapy last week and so far have had two appointments for that ultrasound treatment they do. It feels good while it’s being done, but otherwise it doesn’t seem to be helping yet. I’ve also got a few exercises that I’m doing at home, but again, the pain is just getting worse.

I do have an appointment to see an orthopedist, thank God, but that’s not until February 21 so I’ll be waiting another 2½ weeks before we can even try to figure out something different to make this agony go away. I don’t know what that doctor might have in his bag of tricks, but I’m starting to feel desperate for something, anything just to make it stop.
