surgery
whats the surgry like and how long is the recovery from it?
I had plica syndrome about eight years ago. I went to the orthpedic specialist and received several small shots of cortisone in the area (the plica wraps around the knee), took it easy for a couple of days, then resumed training. I haven't had the problem since.
I have had it before...After not running for 5 months they finally decided to do surgery. At the time they had no idea what was going on as it did not show up on the mri. Basically they decided that nothing else was working so they would go in and take a look.
When they got inside they found an inflamed plica...it only showed up when they bent my leg.
After trimming it up and taking out some other scar tissue I was running again in 3 weeks.
If I were you (since you know it's a plica issue) I would get the coritzone shots. It's my understanding that you can't really do any other damage if you run through it.
