I am having an MRI on my knee tomorrow. I am having some severe pain when I walk and they told me a couple of months ago that I have tendonitis. Well a couple of weeks ago I had a pop in my knee and now I can barely walk. So I went back to the doc on Friday and he ordered an MRI because he thinks I might have a Miniscus Tear. I am hoping they find out what is wrong but am also hoping it doesn't require surgery because my dad has surgery on the 27th, my Grandma on the 28th and I don't want to be in the line. I do need help to be able to walk and don't want to have to rely on pain meds just to be able to do it. I don't like having to use the little carts in Walmart but I am having to right now because it hurts to bad to walk. Have any of you ever had this problem in the knee and what did they do for it?

Good Luck on the MRI and I will be praying that no surgery is required..... maybe just a little physical therapy like I had to do for six months when I did something similar to my right knee years ago.

janniebug, i am sitting at home right now recovering from knee surgery done last monday. i too was having horrible pain when walking and had felt a pop in my knee.. it wasnt a tear in my Miniscus ( however you spell it). they did however go in and remove what they call a plica, which is a fiberous tissue that sometimes can get inflammed and hang on your leg bones... while they were in there they had to scrap my femur as it had a place where the bone was splintered....
I will be thinking about you. I hope that they can find what is causeing you this pain.. believe me i feel you on the pain... i know how bad it hurts to even try to walk.
let us know what they find ok???

Thanks guys...I had it done and see the doc on Friday. I am on pins and needles waiting. I wish I could get in to see him sooner but my schedule and his schedule don't jive. I will let you know what he says.
