Some surgery complications?

I went to the physical therapist today. I went to the doctor last week because my knee has been bothering me much more than usual in the past month or two after I tweaked it while wearing all my heavy gear and trying to sit down on a very low seat.

When I got to the doctor and got through explaining the pain and my medical history related to the knee (took some time to get that fully explained!), she looked at it a bit. She could tell something was not right, and the spot that I told her hurts the most had something in it that she could feel, almost as if there was a piece of loose bone moving around, or a vein rolling when you press on it. It wasn't either of those, but I don't know how else to describe it.

After trying several of the "tests" on my knee that she knew, she was able to conclude that the problem was not muscular, or at least not in any of the major muscles, as I had great muscle strength and felt no pain in doing various exercises, so she brought in the other (more experienced) doctor to take a look at it. (On a side note, he is the doctor that first referred me to the army hospital that sent me to San Diego.) He came to the same conclusion, and they told me to go ahead and schedule an MRI for it so they could have a reference, becuase the only images they had to look at were pre-surgery. They told me a couple of things that it might be, though I don't remember what it was called, just that it is similar to if some extra scar tissue had grown and was getting in the way. If that is the case, some minor surgery might be done, though that would likely be orthoscopic and could be done here in Korea with a short recovery time, but at this point it is still a guessing game. It is also likely to be related to my first surgery, though the MRI will tell them if that is the case.

In the meantime, I am not supposed to wear my heavy gear or lift anything heavy, so I should be ok for now. I can walk just fine, though sometimes it is hard to sit down or go up stairs.

I should have the MRI scheduled by monday of next week, but I won't know more until after it is done, probably in two or three weeks depending on their schedule.
