Thank you so much! I have been following the RICE method and I use the ultrasound machine at physical therapy. The orthopedic surgeon says he wants another MRI of my knee, and to see me before he prescribes anything for the inflammation. I suppose a few more days of discomfort won't really make a difference. Did the machine you bought on amazon work? I have looked one up, but my mother is hesitant of buying it because she thinks it is crap for about $100.
