So I went to a new ortho today...Overview:
1) X-ray of left knee (due to left knee fracture history/pain) & ankle (due to random swelling/pain...both were negative for fractures 2) He did the whole range/stability thing on both legs, then mashed on my left knee quite a bit 3) Said x-ray looks like I have some early arthritis. Wanted to do a lidocaine/cortisone injection into my knee to see if it halts the pain (if it does-there's a problem inside the knee; if it doesn't- "It may be this "RSD" you speak of"...it did help the pain in my knee...caused some burning pain in my thigh; foot ice cold; felt like I was walking on fire when I put weight on it. 4) Ordered an MRI; Dexa scan (said my bones look way older than I am-most likely osteoporosis); and a bunch of bloodwork (CBC,CMP,ESR,CRP,Vit D,PTH) Now, we wait...again...
