Hitch in my giddy-up

For the past month, at least starting around Easter, I've had pain in my right knee. Not much, but enough for me to hate taking stairs and to cause me to limp a bit. If I do a lot of walking at once it flares up a bit as well. I just figured it was temporary and it would go away. It wasn't, so after about a month I finally went into the doctor the other day to get it looked at.

They took some X-rays and they came back "interesting". That's not a good word you want a doctor to use describe your x-ray! Apparently there's some problem at the top part of my tibia, right near the knee cap. The x-ray sort of looked like some bone was splitting off or something. It wasn't that clear to my untrained eyes. Anyway, I'm going to a orthopedic doctor on the 24th to get a more complete examination of what's going on.

Now, I have no idea what's going on so I won't even begin to try and guess. All I know is there will be a "hitch in my giddy-up" for a while longer. I'm sure it isn't anything major.
