LBSS, what is VAT?

Also, Raptor, where exactly is you knee pain? What movements cause it?

I've pretty much eliminated all of my knee pain so maybe I can help.

1/8 to 1/4 squat range. First 20% of knee flexion, starting from an extended leg. The pain is on the lateral side of the knee, in the "knee hole" on the lateral side (basically to the right of the patella, in that "hole" in the knee). Some thing in there "snaps" when I get past a point of flexion.

Sounds like a lateral meniscus issue/lateral collateral band/plica syndrome. No instability in the knee, or locking of the knee in extreme flexion/extension? No swelling?

None. Just that. And some mild pain that is just enough to shut down my quad when trying to be explosive. I can still put out force with it though. I also have Osgood Schlatter on that knee, a pretty big lump, ever since I was 13 or so. Never got better since then. No wonder my right quad is so dead, I guess I'm involuntarily protecting that knee when moving around so my quad has gone down in terms of size, for such a long time.

Probably some kind of compensatory thing is going on too, with the right glute firing pretty well, and also with the left leg getting stronger. When I do depth jumps I never jump straight up - I always end up jumping a bit to the side.

VAT is value added tax. most european countries charge it for clothes and shoes and stuff, i dunno what else. can be like 16 or 17%. makes shit REAL expensive, in addition to the euro being worth more than the dollar.

I don't have a problem with VAT tax. The problem is that stuff that comes from the USA come up with HUGE transport taxes, customs taxes and warehouse taxes, and you need to go to some kind of warehouse to get it from.

Thanks but I'm not available for that kind of an effort.

We also pay for our own medicine here. If you end up in a hospital, even if you pay medical insurance, you will need to pay the doctors, nurses, your meds, everything, otherwise they won't look at you and pretty much let you die. This while paying your ensurance. It's pretty cool.
