Most people quote Shakespeare as saying "Therein lies the rub", however it appeared within another context as noted in the title of this posting. Either way, the "rub" on my right knee is a complex tear of my medial meniscus along with an ACL with , fortunately, minor damage. Ironically, the tear has occurred while getting in shape for lengthy hiking during a treadmill run. The tread slipped causing my knee to bend backwards. Now the knee is fairly unstable on uneven ground or stairs and tends to lock at times. So now on to surgery, have the meniscus removed, and start from "ground zero" for returning to long hikes and backpacking.
