		<description>Very good info on the sciatica and back surgery.
Concerning my knee problem. I went to Lance for a physical therapy evaluation a couple weeks ago as it seemed slow in healing completely although getting better little by little. He felt the knee was basically sound although I strained it back then and tore up 10% or so of the fibers on that inside medial ligament. I was incouraged to stretch it more to restore full range of movement which helped, but basically this type of injury takes 8 weeks to heal and it is now almost completely healed on schedule.</description>
