The doc says that I should be able to get by with just PT and no surgery if it is the meniscus.

So for at least this week I'm off the bike and using ice twice a day with ibuprofen.

The funny thing is that I can't think of what it is that I did to injure myself. Maybe I'm just starting to get old.
knee pain from biking is usually from an incorrect seat height. Seat height needs to be reset periodically because things change if you lose or gain weight...
