ABSTRACT

I went out for a run one day. And then my knee just started to hurt so badly that I couldn’t, I couldn’t run back. So I called the doctor who had done the arthroscopy to hear what it could be that would hurt that way all of a sudden. Then he said that it could be cartilage formations on the kneecap or behind the kneecap somewhere. He recommended that I signed up for another arthroscopy, so I did that. And then there were cartilage formations in the knee, and he removed them, and then I was okay with that knee. I remember he asked me why I didn’t get my cruciate ligament fixed. And then I said I thought it was working quite okay. I guess I was a bit scared to have it fixed. (Bolette, 37)
