Hey Daniela,

I seem to be following the same path as you at the moment as I have been just over 5 months chasing a clear diagnosis without anything yet after 100's of tests. My pain however developed after a 2 day period of overuse of my operated right knee, which probably lead to the initial injury (hamstring tendon) back on 21st November last year.

Since the injury, I did not give it the sufficient rest it needed perhaps and the pain kept getting better with rest and getting worse with day to day activities (driving, work, fishing etc). I kept on this pattern for 2 months until the pain developed into something much more sever (possibly when the RSD had started to kick in). Two weeks later i went in for an knee arthroscopy which 'killed me' and tripled my pain.

Since then I have done the following tests:

MRI full body (found muscle inflammations/lesions on my hamstring tendon and calf muscle right knee. Also found a smaller inflammation on my left knee)

EMG, EGG, Ultrasound, Circulation Test, 5 blood tests - All fine. Not to mention being examined by over 25 specialists (doctors, physios, chriropracters, surgeons etc) so I have excluded alot till now.

Now in Germany I will do every other test possible to rule out EVERYTHING.

The strange thing is that I now have pain in my left arm and opposite knee (nothing like the pain in my right knee) and only come when I straighten them or start to use them as opposed to constant pain....
