Four years ago I broke my tibia in a bicycle crash. The fracture of the bone looked like a corkscrew. Anyway, I got a nice titanium pin inside the tibia. The bad news: it was rammed into the bone starting just below my knee. To do this the surgeon had to split the tendon just below my knee. Especially during the cold season while loading the knee in a static manner while climbing that spot now feels like someone is inserting a knife. No remedies, no cure. Shit happens .....

Hit from behind by a forklift and dragged forward 6 feet when I bent down to retrieve a knife out of the sharp box surrounded by yellow do not cross lines! STUPID F### was talking to someone behind him driving forward!!! You would think the 50 year old lead hand would know better!! 10.5 months of compo with 2 surgeries to my right knee to repair. Took 2 years to get stability back, I won't ski or skate anymore but I still carry a 50lb pack up the mountain with poles to make up for it.
Pops clicks and pain are part of my game now but I am too stubborn to sit and whine about it. (until NOWWWWWW)
Lots of exercise and light stretching(not to pain) is the only way for bum knees. Get in a pool twice a week and do resistance exercises before you start anything more. Build up all the little intrinsic stabilizers and tendons that have not been worked because of the larger injuries. then move to a bike and weights.

Got hit head on by a caddy in 93 while on a chopper. I was 18 at the time. the driver was drunk and pulled out onto a highway right in front of me going south in the north bound lane. when i made impact my forks compacted and catipulted me over his car and i landed down the road about 30 feet. landed on my knee and then bounced onto my back and slid another 20 feet or so. Damaged knee and major road rash. F**cken driver turned out to be the son of an attorney who plead from dui and reckless endangerment to unsafe lane change. when he hit me he got out of his car and started yelling look what you did to my car how you gonna pay for dat......I am glad i was injured it kept me from killing the f**ker.........Anyway to make a short story long it just started hurting in the last three years....hurts like hell until i walk for a while and it loosens up. But if i sit for as little as ten minutes I have to stretch it out again. You out to see me try to get up in the middle of the night to take a piss.....stagering though the house trying to lean on the walls for support so i don't fall and kill myself.....Drew
