The orthopedist was a waste of time
they couldn't x-ray me, so they just said I had some swelling and to take 2 weeks off from running, but that I could continue my other forms of cardio and wear my compression brace.
I want my $20 copay back.
Re: The orthopedist was a waste of time
They "couldn't" or wouldn't?
That is odd, and sucky.
Can your PCP order an xray ... although an xray really isn't all that great for determining knee issues.
I think I missed the back story here.
How long have you been having pain?
Wouldn't because I found out this morning that I'm pregnant (though even if they would, I wouldn't let them.) The pain has been going on for a bit over 2 weeks, though it comes and goes.

Ok, there's a whole bunch of stuff going on in this post.
First, I'm sorry to hear about your knee problems. I've been there before. Very frustrating when you expect the ortho to give you a plan of action, and all you end up with is an empty wallet and the advice to "rest".
Secondly, a huge congrats on the BFP!
Sorry about your knee, but congrats on your great news!

And your name is "rxbeth", so I guess you're good at prescribing things!
Thanks, ladies! I'm cautiously optimistic after last month.

next time just listen to me - i told you what they were going to say :-p
congrats though - a BFP is way more awesome than going for a run!!!
Seriously Although this doctor did say I could spin/ellipticize - not a word - and the ladies here suggested I sit on my fat butt for a week! The travesty!
