Thanks for all your kind words. It is getting better. As a matter of fact I woke up this morning and there was no pain at all. However once I started using it it started to reappear a little.

JoeG I feel for you with that knew. Been there done that when I was in crosscountry and track in highschool. Knee problems can be really painful! My coach said to just run it out but the specialist said that would have been the worst think I could be. My problem was caused by my hamstrings out of balance with my front muscles which isn't uncommon in runners.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
