                        Zippy:  I am in Milwaukee,WI and my doctors are with the Medical College of Wi.  I have a consultation with both docs on 5/9.  They have reviewed my recent MRI and said I am loaded with PVNS.  I plan to have surgery before the end of May.  I hope they are optimistic as far as removing this stuff but after hearing that you had 4 operations, I feel a bit doomed!  With 2 surgeons working on my knee I am hoping the results will be  successful.  I'll keep you posted.  I will take your advice about PT and hope for the best!  Take good care.
