Looks like either where the two leg bones meet, or between kneecap and bone. Either that, or it's a plumber bending over underwater... Grin

Hmmm... gassy planets, plumber's butt....LOL!! Cheesy

You're familiar with the term "plumber's butt" or "plumber's crack"? Refers to the unwelcome sight of some overweight guy in old jeans and no belt, crouching or bending as he works. In my line of work, I've also seen plenty of electricians and carpenters put on similar displays... awful.

Yeah, I have been there! I have torn every ligament and tendon in my right knee, not fun. All the meniscus is torn up too and I have a chip of the femur floating in there with my detached posterior cruciate ligament. Check this site out that I found Craig...http://www.skisocal.org/knee/

Thanks for the link:)
The simple fact is, i wont know for a couple of weeks if it helped. Until the initial pain, of which there isnt much has worn off and full movement is regained, i wont know if it needs further treatment. I hope it doesnt.

Its too bad you had to go through all that. I tore all of the stuff in my knee and opted not to have surgury and just rehabilitated it instead. I was on crutches for about 5 months but never got cut open, which is a good thing because they would have never let me in the military if they knew how much damage I have in there!

When I first saw it, I thought you meant, going into yourself through naturally occuring arpeture between the back of your legs Tongue

! But alas, twas only two very interesting bones, which are pretty cool. You can see how that gel stuff sort of lubricates the joints (someone correct me if I'm so incorrect its funny.)
Thanks for posting that!!
