This is kind of awkward seeing how many of you do not know me, but if you can, please pray for me. For the past 3 1/2 years, I have had very bad problems with my left knee. I went to the doctor almost 3 years ago, they ran a few tests and a couple x-rays, then sent me home with some simple exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee, and said the grinding might go away on its own. Well, here I am, still having painful grinding, but also, I have obtained a new problem. About 3 times a week (minimum) my knee feels like it pops out of place, and when it does that, I have to sit down, and hit the side of my knee with my fist about 3 times, or until I hear a somewhat loud *pop*, then the pain goes away. I cannot walk for long periods of time, or even on a treadmill, because if I do, it will pop out of place, or at least feel like it does. I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago, he ran another set of x-rays, and has now referred me for an MRI which will be scheduled within this week, or next week. If that comes out with no apparent damage, he will most likely refer me to yet another doctor (most likely a bone specialist or a muscle specialist). My doctor said it couldn't be arthritis, because I am too young (I'll be 15 in a few months), so that has been ruled out. Please pray, if you will, that the doctor can figure out what is wrong, because it has gotten to the point to where I cannot live with it. Thank you in advance for your prayers, sirs and ma'ams.
God bless,
