What’s up with the noise my knee makes?
Crepitus -your joints making sounds- is part of a routine conversation I have with clients. Client “My shoulder, knee, [enter joint here] makes this sound.” Me “Is there any pain when it happens?” Client “No.” Me “Don’t worry about it.” The sound is usually some popping or clicking, and joints making these sounds are just […]

Comments Off on My second visit to Washington University in St. Louis
I recently visited the Washington University in St. Louis for the second time. The first time, close to two years ago, was for help coming off my ACL reconstruction.
