I don't know about a knee, but I do know about my deal. Had I known what I now know, I still would have raced. You know. That Addiction thing, and the buzz that goes with it.
I can't honestly say 100% if it was worth it, but I'll go 90, easy. 3 months out, and I'm still fighting pain every day, and every night. May as well get used to it, and grow to embrace it. I think it's a load of crap, but I can't undo it. Supposedly one day, it just sort of subsides, and I am starting to actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, when I walk, it only hurts about 50% of the time, and my limp is now just coming and going. Those stupid muscle contractions only wake me up 5 or 6 times a night now.
And I can ride my bike.
Cluster **** indeed. Keep the chin up, pcad. It gets better.
