I feel your pain also. I'm 52 and I'm still trying to recover from re-injuring an old, arthritic ankle back in early November. Before that, my old knee injury was starting to act up. Every time it seems to I start to get better....bam! I haven't been on my bike for more than a few, slow miles in a couple months, and it doesn't look like that's going to be changing any day soon. Bah!
