My knees are fine on the bike, fortunately, but I've never been given the option to do a stress test on a stationary bike. For the record, I'm on metoprolol tartrate and I miss grapefruit.
My knee’s meniscus is torn too. My ortho told me to not run but cycling and swimming are allowed because there is no impact.
