Second trip to the doctor

So clearly the physical therapy wasn't working and I told Keith that.  He suggested that he give me a cortisol injection right to the knee joint.  "Bring it on" I said and he did it right then and there -- that was some time in March. 
After a few days my knee was still hurting bad and I was starting to limp noticably.  I was starting to have to take days off work because of my knee pain.  I called Keith again and said it wasn't working that I was still in pain and so he sent me off to Sarasota Memorial for an MRI of my knee.  We both agree that it must be a torn ligament or something.  I waited for the results. 
He called me the next day.  I was at work but I was expecting his call so when the call actually came I was expecting it.  Keith said he was sorry to tell me over the phone but he was shocked and wanted me to know right away.  According to the MRI I had a huge tumor on my tibia, right above my knee. He wanted me to see an oncologist right away.
