    Oak - it hurt a lot at first, now it's just exercise. The only thing that still hurts a bit are the ones where I try to bend my knee a little further, there are structural changes in the joint that make that endeavor kinda miserable.

    See Pax, because I have little cartilage left in knees and squatting the normal/safe way is causing too much pain, my PT told me to do them the way it does not hurt which is bending more forward. That way I can squat down almost to do a perfect chair. It still works my quads, etc. There is always a work around to help you.

    Helene - Yup, it's so exciting to be able to do squats again.
