He looked at the MRI's from when I originally injured my knee, and said that I had multiple hairline fractures in the knee cap and a very strained MCL. I had another MRI, and although those had luckily healed, it looked like I now had a torn meniscus and still a strained MCL. This was in OR where I go to school, and when I went home to CA for break I had surgery in December '10.
Went to another orthopedic doctor who said my knee cap was slightly too far to the right and so out of its groove. I used Advil, Bengay, ice, rest and got a knee brace for compression. I'm now scheduled to start physical therapy tomorrow to strengthen one muscle. I still don't think the answer to the electric jolts has been found.
