Well good news! I went to the docs yesterday expecting to get a referal, but Kaiser actually has specialists working with their doctor staff during the day. The doctor brought in a sports medicine specialist and he ran me through a rigor of tests (all movement, nothing fancy). He said since I didnt have any pain that he doesnt think there is any tears, just that I stretched out the superspanateous (sp?) and that it will just take a while to (6-8 weeks) to get back to normal. He didnt feel or see anything that would warrant an MRI at this point. As far as the weakness he is sending me off to a nueorlogist to see what is going on with the nerves. He said the superspanateous may have rolled out of place and is pinching a nerve causing me to loose grip strength.

He actually gave me an exercise called a beer can exercise. And yes its in the paperwork! WOOHOO! I told him I dont like canned beer and he said a bottle would be ok too. That and I should be getting massages! all in the paperwork! Had to show the wife. Told her I would start off with the 12 oz exerciese and work up to 16, then 22s.
