Afterthought- 500.00 isn't astronomical for orthodics- they'll run you at least that for a single pair. And I switched to zero impact arobic activity at the gym- either the cross-trainer (aka eliptical machine) or, at my old gym, aquafit, and both did wonders for adding strength to my stabalizing muscles while reducing wear and tear on my joints. I'm not a skinny-mini, and lots of jumping about is not what my bod is built for. Your doctor might also be able to refer you to a sports injury therapist who can recommend some shifts in your workout to reduce pain - I actually had over-developed quads, which were pulling my kneecaps out of alignment so they were not tracking properly. Who'da thunk? We would never have known that without the sports injury therapist, and now I can make sure that my workout is supporting and not hindering my healing.
