Hugs, Anne. I know how much my knee hurts and would never wish that on anyone. X-rays today will tell my story, and if it muscular then it will not show up in the x-ray; will have to bare up to the pain until the muscle heals...its been over 3 weeks of this "I hate to walk" "that looks a mile away" "No, I do not want to get in and out of the car one more time!" It no doubt been saving on the $$$ shopping...no desire to do so.
