[pct-l] Knees

[Robert E. Riess]

I had a similar problem a few years ago.  At the time, I was a classroom 
teacher.  My desk was in the back of the room and of course, I taught at the 
front.  My right knee hurt so much, I would actually combine trips to my 
desk so that I could do at least 3 things before I would walk the 30 feet. 
A couple of times, at the end of a day, the pain was so bad just driving 
home and using the gas pedal on the car, I had to stop and pull over.  Just 
pressing the gas pedal was excruciating.  My MD diagnosed anserine bursitis 
and gave me a shot of kenalog with lidocaine.  This killed the pain 
instantaneously and it never came back.  Merry Christmas and good luck to 
the class of 2012.  BR
