Your knees...well atleast my knees. So now, I'm sitting at home in a full leg brace, and freaking out on some hydros. Waiting for my appointment with an orthopedic surgeon to fine out what all is torn. YAY for me. Don't you just love I/O front bigs?

DirtyCracker, if you have no insurance, goto a community health center..They base the price of your visit on your income ranging anywhere from $20-$100. They also provide imaging at the same price along with meds discounted towards your income. Most people without insurance don't know about these places but they are really great if you cannot afford insurance, and the doctors really care about the patients at these places. Here is a link to the centers in orlando:

i haven't been able to ride or do anything athletic since July 20th, 2007 from a knee injury. Three surgeries later i know how it goes and it's definitely not cool.

coricluster- you should definitely let it heal. if it's just an mcl stay off it for a few weeks and then do some strength training. with a torn mcl you could do damage to the medial meniscus which will ruin you. trust me i thought the same way and because of it ended up tearing and flipping the meniscus up into my knee cavity and tearing my acl while wearing a knee brace, and have done NOTHING for the past year because of it. i had a surgery in august for acl and meniscus and another in this past june for the meniscus again, it is no joke.
