Well, the steroids achieved nothing. The stick is still taking some stick. On the upside, at least we now know that My Dodgy Knee's liver function is normal. Let's try an MRI scan and see what that tells us. Fantastic - and the appointment came through within a couple of days. Well worth curtailing my trip to the Lake District to come back for an actual diagnostic test.
Apparently it may take up to 4 weeks to be reported, though, what with it being summer and stuff, which is slightly less inspiring.
The Lake District Summer Music Festival is good, though, and there's enough legroom for My Dodgy Knee and for my stick that's taking too much stick.
Coniston Water from Brantwood, in case you're wondering.
