Well the knee finally locked up on me Sunday morning at church. Monday the orthopedist drained about 200 cc of fluid from it and injected it with cortisone. I had just gotten back to riding(recumbent bike)!!!! I have an MRI scheduled and possible surgery at Spring break. My husband hung my bike back up on the wall, for now.

However even if I have surgery, my orthopedist is an avid bicyclist and he says he will "prescribe" bike riding, on a trainer, when I start physical therapy. He says biking is one of the best recoveries for knees he's ever seen.

I'll keep you informed. Guess I'll keep lurking for a while while I'm out of commission.
