Well, first I've like to know what you mean by it's killing me...
Secondly, no doctor has told me I couldn't do anything physical. It's never happened while cycling *knocks on wood* and I'm not sure it would because you never fully extend your leg while pedaling. And pedaling is a consistent, fluid motion - not sudden or jerky or apt to apply weird pressure randomly. I don't wear braces, it most likely wouldn't help anyway.
