Ortho appt

I have a classic form of (which is causing Plica):

So hopefully with the help of good arch supporters (have an appt with a Pod), anti-inflamitory meds (1/day for 4-6 weeks) and intensive physical training (3 days/week for 4-6 weeks), my knees won't bother anymore. Since its been too long already (a couple to a few years) and we are hoping, with our fingers crossed, that this works. Stretches and exercises (including RICE and other crap) at home, aint doing squat. When I stop, the pain starts back up. So its time for reinforcements! Im game for whatever right now, even possible surgery.

Kinda excited for the PT because I can loose more than a few pounds. Weight has gone up since the last appt, by 3lbs...YIKES!!!!
