So I did spend the afternoon having my knee checked out from a pretty nasty rock vs. patella incident about 9 days ago.
The doc wanted to make sure that I didn't crack my patella. I am still gimping about so I wanted to make sure that my daily activities were not going to cause any more damage.
The xrays were pretty! No sign of OA. This after 50+ yrs of being a distance runner, hiker, and bicyclist.
The doc has been my doctor for 21 yrs. She was overjoyed at finding no damage. However I do have some internal bone bruising which will take time to heal.
She commented that the knee bones were so different than my finger joints which are ravaged by OA.
I can continue to walk fairly even surfaces and use the pain for .. as she says ... a limiter.
No magic here.
I am happy there was no broken bits. She did comment that the fact that I do weight bearing exercises and cardio have contributed to some good bone health.
I hope so! I am tickled pink. I have to ice and be nice to myself until I heal up.
