Apparently, there is some damage to at least one tendon and it's not healing properly. I've been told to do only passive exercises, and to stop the second it starts hurting (there I'm assuming "more than it already is.")
So, does anyone know good exercises for the legs that are passive in nature?

| Swimming is a great exercise where you can limit the amount of leg work and still get a great aerobic workout.

How about isometrics?
If I remember right a book came out about them in the '60s and they became a big fad. It's about flexing muscles to build strength, if I remember right. But no movement! That oughta be passive!?!

That might work. I find out tomorrow. I almost wish I *could* swim (and that I wasn't afraid of water). Hopefully I'll know more after my first session of professional stuff. (I've been told not to expect to feel real good afterwards :S)
