On medical professionals:

doctor: The ligaments are inflamed. I don't know why. Stay off your feet 80% of the time.

physical therapist: Stop limping and keep the knee moving to avoid loss of muscle mass. Your range of motion is fine, you're just favoring it because it hurts.

chiropractor: Does it hurt here? How about here? *crack* Walk around and see how it feels.

me: I'm going to hurt like hell, but my weight's coming down in the right place again.


(So much for the doctor's complaint that nothing in a knee can be adjusted).
