[pct-l] Knees



Bill:
If you've been on painkillers for 4-5 months now and you're still in pain, I wouldn't be planning a thru hike.  that simply would be foolish, even people 100% healthy have a tough time.
At best you have a bad case of tendinitis or something worse.  In either case, you need to let your knee heal and get it checked out throughly, before it becomes a life long problem.  Some doctors will give you a discount if you ask and don't have health insurance.
You don't want your PCT hike to be your last.  Nothing wrong with planning shorting trips this summer until your 100%
