So the MRI showed that I have some blistering going on under my patella.
It is caused by patellar maltracking. My knee cap is off-track. It rubs and grinds in the wrong places when I am bending my knees. It comes from the quads being weak. Not all of my quad muscles are weak...the quads encompass a huge muscle group on their own.

Basically, I have to start physical therapy. I have to retrain my patella to track properly.
I will be going twice a week for 4 weeks for PT.
Well, I'm just glad it's nothing major! But this shit still hurts though. It's a very common problem according to my ortho.
Wish me luck!!!
