Ok. Went in to check it out today...It went as follows.
Basically they said that somehow a blood flow has been cut off to the cartilage in the middle of the joint, which is causing the problems. That's what the PA told me at first i said, the actual doctor did not touch much on this. I explained my pain and problem and he basically said that he did not want to go in and scope around to see exactly what it was, and make me go through that when there was a chance of me healing myself. He offered to give me a shot of cortisone, which I may end up doing. I declined at the time, though.
Basically it was still pretty inconclusive I guess. I'm not happy at all about what's going on. I just want to know if it can be fucking fixed or not. Right now, it doesnt even hurt, it's in a stage where it just feels....weird. like there's a pressure against my nerve or tendon...a funny-bone type feeling. So I don't know what to do. I guess just keep on going and if the pain starts coming back again, get the cortisone shot and see if that doesnt help at all.
I'm definitely going to go out and buy some glucosamine sulfate/chondroiton and hopefully that will help a bit, perhaps with rebuilding the cartilage.
