My little upvote. Last month I spent too much time on my left knee, with too much pressure, and it swelled up, just below the kneecap. After it got worse everytime I did any damn work, I went to the doc.
The diagnosis; prepatellar bursitis. The cure? Don't do that.
God I hope Marg gets better medical help than I did.

Bursitis... I think that's part what Marg did to herself (both knees) while running her second marathon last yea (2nd our of 7 marathons in 7 consecutive days, in seven cities..). I could be wrong, but that sounds familiar. And yeah, the "oh you don't what that" reply from the doctor is a real kick in the guts.
Thanks for your support, and I hope you knee gets a chance to heal properly!
Well, the job I am on is replacing the subfloor of a dwelling, and then reflooring it. Pretty much on my knees all day every day. It's not getting better, but I can't not work.
Until I can't work at all.
Oh well, at least I'll die old. That's more than I could have expected when this adventure began.
