Hi,
A couple months ago I developed a very painful condition in the medial plica of my left knee (not that I had ever even heard of a plica before). It's been a major bummer, I missed a couple months of work (I'm an electrician and have to crouch, kneel, etc a lot), and it continues to be painful, though I'm working again. Going up stairs/hills/ladders is ok pretty much, and I'm back to doing some 5 mi 1000 elevation gain hikes in the past week, but the way things are, I'm worried about being able to backpack again, in particular a month from now.Has anyone ever had this experience or know anything about recovery? thanks
