Well, I decided to seek the opinion of an orthopedic specialist who helped me
with an injured shoulder 9 years ago.

He has decided that I do not have ITBS as the PT and my PCP thought.
He geels I have degenerative meniscus. Apparently I have pain on both sides of
my knee and along the line across the knee. He showed me where IT should cause
the pain and pointed out that my painful area is somewhat different.

We decided to be conservative in our approach. He gave me a knee exercise to do
for my quad. I will do the exercise but I think my quads are pretty strong
already.

I think that some of the exercises I was doing at the PT were irritating my
knee. I don't blame anyone but I am glad I got another opinion. I have been
getting better since I finished going to PT about a week and a half ago.

I'll let you all know if anything changes.

Many thanks for your kind advice,

Michele Dougherty
