    Re: popliteus/biceps femoris tendinosis

    Sorry I missed your post. Life got busy over the holidays.

    My knee has been assessed by two orthopaedic surgeons by physical exam and Wikipedia reference-linkMRI. Neither thinks I have a surgical problem, and the MRI didn't show any tears to the Wikipedia reference-linkmeniscus.

    I'm continuing with eccentric strengthening and stretching. Not much progress so far (after 8 weeks of strength exercises), but I haven't given up yet. Some local folks have suggested a local chiropracter who does some work with a laser - but "laser therapy" sounds suspiciously gimmicky to me. Anyone have experience with it or know if there's any evidence for it? Thanks!

    As far as im aware laser is the snake oil of the 21st century. Doesnt penetrate past the skin.
