Today, while Dr Knee was 'manipulating' my leg to do what I think is the Lachman Test, which usually makes me either a) flinch/squirm from the tickling or b) flinch/squirm from the discomfort, he said to Paul, 'did you see that?'
Paul looks on as his wife is lying on 'the couch' getting her legs thrown in the air by another man, and says, 'er...' before Dr Knee excitedly continues, 'classic response, classic positive result to my test. She's tensing her hamstring to keep the kneecap in. That is a classic positive response. It's involuntary, but it's her body's way of knowing what's about to happen and trying to stop it.'
Then Dr Knee would do it again, while Paul's face kinda contorts in concern as he hears me go, 'eeeeergh', while Dr Knee says, 'sorry, sorry, I won't "rough you up" any more', but you get the picture...
Yes, indeed, got it the first time!
I did find that quite interesting, though... My hamstring knows when my knee is going to be naughty! Good hamstring!
