I have a series of knee probelems.
-tendonitis
-constant swelling
-folded knee tissue
-jumper's knee
-constant purple marks
I also have a twisted hip bone(proven in x-rays) which adds to the pain.

I am in so much pain.
My knee is splinted.

Everytime I step down I am in pain and my physical therapist had to write a yearlong PE note because everytime I excercise, the pain shoots from my knee all the way up my back.

Should I be on crutches or resort to surgery?
Please give some input.
