Chondromalacia...not so sexy.

I found out why my knee has been driving me nuts.  Chondromalacia.  And patello-femoral syndrome.  In a nutshell, my knee is overstressed because of the angle between my hip & knee and the cartilage behind my kneecap is paying the price.  Good news, though.  No Surgery! Yay!  But, apparently, I have no VMO (one of the quad muscles).  Plies in 5th position, here I come.  It's just like ballet when I was little.

If I get my scanner working, I'll show you my MRI.
