From a little ways back, but this is really a great explanation of a GM, Rock.
Hi Mims!
just back from the gym with knee pics loaded up…I wish I knew what I was looking at here.
I’m scared…
I’d share the images if I knew how.
anywho-
training:
chest press- 5x8
machine row- 5x8
Cable crossover- 4x max reps
T bar row- 4x8
1 arm row- 3x12
Chest press- 2x20
underhand bb row- 2x20
Lat raise machine
3x15
Triceps, alot
Bike hell- 9 min to make up 3x that I’ve missed. My knees hurt 
Are they digital? You can just attach the picture (you need to hit the Go advanced bit at the bottom of the window to get the option to upload).
Any feedback from the medics?
They loaded all the images onto a CD, but I think it has a special something on it that is not allowing me to upload them. And I’m not even able to right click or drag them into a different folder. Must be some kind of safety device.
I have to wait til Monday which seems like eternity!
i managed to post my x-rays to T-Nation… but first i needed to convert them into an image that this site could handle. do all my converting from here:
Thanks for tryin to help.
I think the CD has some special device on it that does not allow you to upload images. No biggie. I’ll find out results tomorrow.
Everything is starting to hurt now which is freakin me the fuck out. Even walking for long periods. I went on a 3+ miler yesterday morning and was hurting by afternoon.
I don’t understand.
Meanwhile, this week was a bit of a deload for me. Didn’t push it as hard, not as much cardio and have been eating more. I’m going to go to the gym this morning though, to make up for the debauchery of last night: Pasta, wine and cheesecake. At least in my mind it helps.
Need to tone it down after today. After the county fair, I promise! 
ah. try and save the CD images onto your desktop. then see what picture format they are in. then you might be able to convert them and save the converted version onto your desktop…
Betty, I’m glad your MRI is behind you and that you can talk to someone about your results tomorrow. You did so great in the machine! I was freaking out, so you are tougher than me.
Crossing my fingers for a good result on the knee thing. Cal is right: you can work around anything.
Its ok Alexus. There are no options to save the images…it’s a certain system the hospital uses I think that makes it unique.

Kim- hey, good to see you here! Thanks…
Just stopping by to check on you girl
Man, its kind of been a shit sandwich tornado for like a year hasn’t it!?
MRI results? YOu got them today…are you okay? NO post makes me worry.
Ah…
I needed to download this (free) program in order to open the CD images:
It let me save the images onto my desktop.
Still… I asked about my x-rays here… And I do think one is better off with the radiology report
I hope you get good news…
Crossing fingers & toes & other body parts for you. Hope everything is ok.
Spill it Mimsy, what’s the verdict on the knees…
((((warm and fuzzies))))
sorry yall. having a pity party here.
I’m going through a raging UTI or at least I think…I’ve had it for a week or so, but didn’t know it. Now my back is KILLING me.(kidneys) and I’m feeling shaky. I can’t get in to see anyone until tomorrow and its not even my own Dr. fuck.
So ya, my knees. I was told EXACTLY what it was I DID NOT want to hear, and then some. Basically, I have little to no cartilage left. The grinding I hear and feel is bones rubbingVOMIT
What cartilage I do have is damaged. The guy was pretty straight forward about it and said it won’t get better but the idea is to not let it get worse.
ok you fuckin prick How do I that? Pain management. Prescription drugs, physical therapy and not doing anything that pretty much involves bending my knee. yay my life.
Oh, and I got the fucking ‘you need to lower your weight,’ talk as well. I held back on that one. This coming from a hefty overweight guy himself.
So kind of a double edged sword. It would help me to lose weight but I’m limited as to what I can do and my fucking thyroid is jacked. What…The…Fuuuuuuuuuck
I’m not blaming my weight on this. I haven’t spent my life morbidly obese or anything like that. I still took it personally.
I’ll get through this. But you know, I really don’t want to spend the rest of my life fretting about my weight and feeling unhealthy. I pretty much blew my late 20s into my 30s worrying about. Theres more to fucking life.
I’m too young to be old.
Aww fuck. You are not having any luck at all, are you? UTIs are no joke - I suffered from cystitis for years and it’s fucking awful. But at least it’ll clear up. The knee stuff really blows. Any way you can talk to someone sports-minded about how to go about fixing that? I would definitely post on the injuries board here as I’m pretty sure you won’t be the only person training around an issue like that. You are tough and stubborn and I know you will find a way.
Big hugs in the meantime.
Sorry Betty, that’s rough.
Was this a sports type guy like cal said? If not look that way…
ya, it sucks.
I have lots of questions that I didn’t even get to formulate at the moment. The place I’m going to is supposed to serve as a sports medicine place too but all I saw was handicapped/elderly people?
I will stick with the physical therapy people as well. A couple of the PTs are also CSCS(s)
Trying not to get to down about it until I know the whole story. Trying to think of all the things I [i/ can [/i] do instead. I’ll become really good at bicycling.
Heading over to Urgent care before my kidneys fall out. Not joking. I was going to wait til morning but i got a message from my Doc telling me to not wait.
