[QUOTE="crazyhorse, post: 1768903, member: 3056"] Went through almost your exact same scenario before my elk hunt this year. Been athletic and in physically demanding environments all of my adult life. As age and wear continue to add up, my right knee went into full protest mode about 2 months before my hunt. Went to my ortho and he did an X-ray that showed no damage but significant wear and scar tissue (had surgery on same knee in my 20's). Told him I didn't have time or copay money for the BS physical therapy. He's a cool Doc and understood, he gave me a prescription for anti-inflammatories and advised to substitute running for some other form of cardio. I switched to a recumbent bike and along with the medicine, my knee started feeling a ton better. Went on my elk hunt and killed a great bull that required one hell of a pack out all by foot. My guide and I were joking at every break because HE was the one who had to stop and rest!:D [/QUOTE]
