Hi Guys,
how are you? I just joined this forum and would really appreciate if someone could help me. I have a knee that hurts me for around 1 1/2 years now. The pain started when i was working out in the gym and was doing heavy leg presses. Since then the pain has got better but still isn't gone. So I finally decided to get an MRI of my knee that I had to pay for from my pocket, as the insurance didn't cover it. Here is the link for the result from the MRI: http://www.xtreme-stunts.com/nail/mri_edited.jpg . It says something about an effusion which I don't really understand, as English is my second language.
Could you tell me if this means that it is irritated, as i tried using Voltaren gel on the knee before, but it didn't get much better.
What would be a good way of combating my problem? I tried resting it for a while but whenever i start exercising, the pain comes straight back.
Thank you very much in advance!!!! Please let me know if you need more information about me.
By the way, I'm 26 years old and have 15% BF.
