There was a message on the board yesterday asking for an update on my injury to which I replied, but shortly after the thread was removed. In case the people who were interested did not read my reply before it was removed my update follows.
I received reports for MRIs on both knees about 3 weeks ago. They showed significant cartilage deterioration due to arthritis. The specialist was not optimistic with no treatmets offering a good chance of success. The MRIs however were not that different to the ones I had done on my left knee in 2002 and I had 5 years of good running after that.
I went to another doctor who is also a runner and much more encouraging. He thought that if I could keep my knee tracking properly things would be OK. I have been running every other day for two weeks for 2 minutes now and so far have no pain while running. I continue to have some variable amount of pain when negotiating stairs though. Ed
