I don't know if anyone mentioned to doc who made this report that the leg already had chronic edema though I'm sure the injury increased it in the knee, at least it seems so to me.
http://www.howardluksmd.com/posterior-horn-medial-meniscus-tears/ Yes I figured out years ago that I tore my meniscus when I fell in the shower. I must have re-injured it. (Frustrated because this happened just as I finally got a chair that was easier on my knees getting up.)
I kind of felt they should look at the entire lower leg so not sure if all this explains the pain across my shin and the pain going down the right side and the rear of my calf completely. Possibly referred pain or the tendinitis, IDK.
This looks like a lot of words to indicate that as long as I try to bear any weight at all on this leg I am so screwed. The only thing that relieves it is to knock myself out for a full night on ambien so I get better sleep. But as soon as I bear weight for even part of the day I go right back to full inflammation. And I can't take anti-inflammatory meds at all, not NSAIDS anyway.

That explains the incredible tenderness and pain behind my knee and why I fall asleep with an ice pack under my knee as well as on top.
