To scope or not to scope, that is the question

The inside of my knee.  A cheap shot of an expensive image.  The MRI is inconclusive, so 6 weeks of physical therapy, three times a week....(so much for my mountain life this summer) and then maybe a shot, then maybe a "scope" (I notice they don't actually call it "surgery"...."scoping" sounds so much friendlier).  He said my MRI shows "degeneration"....more doctor-speak for "old lady knee"!
