boy, i should have read this earlier,,a few days ago i rode 20 miles,then came home and mowed the lawn,then needed to do some adjustments on the mower blade, that entailed getting down on knees, when finished felt some pain in L knee(the good one), and the next morning could hardly walk, have been sleeping with heating pad on it and a pad around the knee, for the last 4 days, and did a ride today and all seems well,a bit stiff in AM but after that all is well(I hope!!!)(I do not have artifical knees)
