The look on my Ortho's face was priceless when I asked him that today. He had just drained what felt like few gallons of fluid off of both knees, shot both of them up with some 'roids, and signed me up for a month of physical terrorpy.
Meh, it's only an MCL sprain in one knee and some torn scar tissue and swelling in the other knee.
Looks like I need a trainer for most of my miles for the next month, but he did say I could soft pedal around the 'hood when it stops feeling like rail road spikes being driven under my knee caps when I pedal.
