Twinges in the knee (and currently for me, the left hip) get my attention right quick and make me keenly aware of further progress either towards relief or increased stress and strain. Its the difference between pyschological and physcial. Anytime the 'brain; tells me "I can't", I'm just wimpin. If the body tells me "I can't", I gotta believe.
