I spoke with Dr. Dreamy this morning.

My bone Dr. is pretty. So I call her Dr. Dreamy. She called me this morning. There IS a piece of loose something in my knee. It is literally 1 cm around. Of course I am old and have arthritis in my knee, but she said this "object" could roll around and find itself in a place where it could cause extreme pain. I have a phone consult with another Dr. in a couple of weeks. We'll see what happens.

@TheHorse I can't say I blame you. Hiking can be hard on the joints.

@kaylachan I don't mind if it hurts a bit. But I want to be able to hike without worry.

I wonder if you're talking about a bone called the fabella? It's a small bone that our ancestors used to have in the knee tendons that is showing up in some humans now. Here is the article I read: It's very interesting reading, in my opinion.

It is always nice to have someone pretty/handsome to look at while discussing your health issues.

That sounds dire having something rolling around in your knee. Hope your next consult has some answers for you. I'm dealing with arthritis in my knees and days like today (snowing) it's really painful. I'm trying to hold off having any kind of surgery as long as I can

What would the "move around" if they did surgery?

I hope your knee can be easily fixed with no need of a major surgery.
