Understood. I saw my doc about four weeks ago and again in another two. Need to do some more blood work before going in. I can tell that my doctor doesn't understand athletic injuries and issues. He always asks about my tennis and seemed to be impressed with my 475 mile cycling month in May, but I could tell he doesn't make that soul link between exercise and health, other than to encourage me to continue exercising. The amount or frequency doesn't seem to register with him, or else he understands and knows within himself that I'm doing it "right". (No, I don't want a different doctor. I've been with this guy for about 30 years now. I'll have to change soon enough when I retire and move someplace else.) I will talk to him when I see him.
