Q: Knee X-ray

Hello, My name is Chris, 36 yr old Male from Newport, NC. I was involved in an automobile accident back in 1990 that resulted me in breaking both of my legs (Lower Fibula on left leg, Upper Tibia on the right.) In 2005, I started experiencing sharp pains in both knees, so I decided to go to my local Emergency Room/Express Care in Morehead City several times over a period of 2 years.. The doctors diagnosed me with all sort of things ranging from Arthritis to Patella Problems.
In 2007 the pain escalated to the point of me going to the local Vocational Rehabilitation and seeing if I could get some help with either getting disability, or at least a job that didn't require me to stand on my feet for certain lengths of time. After a series of X-rays and a MRI done on both knees, the specialist gave me a clean bill of health and sent me on my way.
In May of this year, my knees started hurting severely again, and again I returned to the VR to see about getting help. I am currently seeing a Orthopedic specialist again and have to go in on the 6th of this month for an updated MRI scan on my left knee. I am writing this on here to see if I can get someone that specializes in Bone problems to check out the X-ray pictures that I am going to try and attach to this, and ask them for any kind of opinion on what they think. I know that they cannot provide proper advice since I am not a patient of theirs, but there is one thing in particular that I am hoping to get some resolvement on.

Please, any opinion is appreciated. Thank you and God Bless!
Chris

Okay I will do that, and thank you for the reply. Even though I see that the link for the pictues did not show up on this. Do you know if there is a way to attach a picture on this forum?
Thanks,
Chris
