After today's MRI and a meeting with a sports medicine guy at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, I've got a diagnosis for my pesky left knee problems— Iliotibial Band Syndrome.
"There's no need for surgery—you need to stretch and strengthen your left leg. I'd give you a PT referral, but it all comes down to the stretching."
I'd gotten this probable diagnosis already from Christine (Gloria's personal trainer), 10 months ago.
She knew what she was talking about (even as she marvelled at my inflexibility).
"The MRI scans do not lie," summarized the Sports medicine guy.
