I had a fairly dramatic work-related knee injury a couple years ago. My
Dr at the time told me "That knee *will* have to be replaced.". In order
to get future treatment of the knee covered by worker's comp, I have to
maintain 'continuity of care", basically, get it looked at every year or
two.
It's getting to be about that time. I've moved out-of-state from my
original Dr, so I'm shopping for an orthopodic surgeon (orthopod) that
knows something about cycling in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area of MN.
I'm specifically looking for some cycling experience because I don't have
any health insurance at all, so this checkup is the only time I get to
talk to a Dr about my knee, and many of the questions I have a
cycling-related (for example "with my knee, is a fixie a bad idea?", "when
I'm mtn biking, what kind of fall injury should I be worried about?")
So, I'm looking for testimonials if you've had treatment by a local
orthopod, or any resources to shop for an orthpod.
Any ideas appreciated.
