I’ll be seeing the doc Wednesday, wanted to post this though:
“There is grade 2 chondral thinning of the posterior lateral tibial
plateau with underlying T2 hyperintense bone marrow change. The
remaining articular cartilage in all three compartments is intact
without evidence of focal chondral defect. The patella is well seated
within the trochlea.”
I get the first part… cartilage thinning. What’s the deal with the second part? Thanks.
P.S. I get pain on my left tibial tuberosity (only, no pain on patellar tendon).

sounds like inflammation of the vagina, take fish oil[/quote]
lol. I take fish oil, curcumin, etc, and ice it all the time. This is a chronic problem that I’ve had since June of last year and resting for 4+ weeks didn’t do a thing, so this seems to me like it may be beyond inflammation.
The rest of it goes like this:
“The cruciate ligaments, collateral ligaments, patellar tendon,
quadriceps mechanism and popliteus muscle/tendon are intact without
evidence of tearing. The patellar retinacula are intact. The popliteal
neurovascular bundle is unremarkable.”
Does this MRI result rule out patellar tendinopathy? Because it says the patellar tendon has no tearing, and tendinosis basically means micro-tears/degeneration.

“T2 hyperintense bone marrow change” means that there is edema in the bone itself. [/quote]
Well that makes sense, considering that is exactly where the pain is (on the bone/tibial tuberosity). I’m assuming the edema is due to inflammation.
