Update on my knee

The update with my knee: I saw a knee specialist today and he narrowed it down to cellulitis or suprapatella tendinitis. I had an x-ray done to my knee to verify that nothing was wrong with my bones. I was prescribed 4 pills a day, 3 times a day, for 3 days. I also had physical therapy done. They massaged gel on my knee with this metal thing that was painful for 5 min, then put a big hot pad on for about 20 min, and finished with electroshock or electropulses (not sure, but something with electricity) using 4 suction-like cups around my knee cap. I have to do this therapy for the next 3 days, and by the end of it, if my knee isn't better, I have to get an MRI. I'm suppose to keep my knee straight, and not move as much as possible. That will be difficult to do! We don't have health insurance right now, but it's still pretty cheap to get medical help. My doctor visit, x-rays, and physical therapy cost 27,150 won, which is probably about $25. The physical therapy will probably cost about $10 each visit for the next three days. Also, my prescription cost about $8. All of these expenses were without insurance. So, just imagine how cheap it would be WITH insurance! Anyway, keep checking back at this post for updates on my knee. No worries everybody, I will be fine! I have God on my side :)

**UPDATE
The doctor said it's healing just fine. I have a little bit of recovery to go, but I can start bending my a little bit more each day. I am already able to walk almost normal :) I won't walk long distances just yet, and definitely no running. All the swelling is gone, and there is just a smidgen of discoloration left. I no longer have to go to physical therapy if I don't want to. The doctor did say that I will probably experience some pain due to moving it again, so he suggested I go to therapy every couple of days. I will probably go when I feel like it :) Therapy costs 13,300 won (about $13), and taxi ride round trip is about $6. So needless to say, therapy is not a necessity, therefore I won't be going often, if at all anymore. The doctor never said exactly what it was, but according to the research Jeremy did, most likely it was tendonitis. Praise God that I'm cured :)

**UPDATE
Well, technically my is all better except for the fact that I still can't kneel down on my knee cap. Nothing bothers my knee until I try putting  my weight on my knee cap. Everyone whom I've talked all say that's not good and I should get it looked at. The problem is, the doctor is going to tell me to get an MRI, as that is the next step he would take. Unfortunately, with insurance, the MRI will cost 400,000 - 500,000 won. We don't have insurance yet, so I can't do the MRI. We should get insurance in a couple of weeks if everything goes well. I just pray that in the mean time, I am not doing anymore damage to my knee!
