Funny, now if I touch my right knee on a spot on the inside, I don't feel it there, I feel it on the outside front, must have cut or smashed some nerves too, but luckily none that control anything.
I've got to say, this history puts your op in perspective. You crash on pavement with absurd frequency, and you ended up damaging your knee? Learn more about crash avoidance rather than vainly seeking " safe" methods of crashing.
