[QUOTE="nvts, post: 116513, member: 3814"] Not being an alarmist here, but sometimes the "tender to touch" can indicate gout/phlebitis. That being said, I had the same problem. I tore the cartiledge in my right knee when I was a kid, but they didn't see the damage. As an adult, my left knee started to swell and I blew out my achilles tendon on the left ankle. When I went to the ortho guy, my soon to be husband pointed out to him that my right leg was about 6 inches thinner than my left. Turned out I was so used to favoring the right that I'd built up the left without knowing it. Quick surgery on the right and all was right with the world! Beth [/QUOTE]
