All By Myself June 11, 2014

    Another day, and deeper in doubt.   I try taking a few days off,  not using the stationary bike so that the knee may have time to rest.  When I start to ride, my left knee hurts a little because  it is stiff, but the pain gradually resolves.  But then the knee crunches worse than before.  I'm not sure whether using it is beneficial or harmful.   I tried to ride the bike before last year's surgery when I read it was important to exercise the muscles so that therapy would be successful.  But I was unable to pedal through even one rotation; my knee (or knees) couldn't bend far enough to make the arc.  So I'm way better off this year.  Or so I like to think.
