Do bikes like these have that option:

I did talk to a doctor and he said I need to straighten my legs and this will help my knee. I talked to a physical therapist and he said riding a bike would be great.

It's not too bad if you have a freewheel tool and bench vice and a chain tool (if you're making big changes). It's much easier on bikes like this:

Or consider an internally geared hub if you want the look and the easy maintenance of fixed/ss.
