Cool beans. You'll have orifices opening and closing all over the place. Party.

And Lisa's cartoon mentioning the doctors' "surprise" method of testing pain brings back bad memories.

There's a similar test for possible patellar instability, where a doc will grab your leg and put pressure on the inside of the knee. For people with stable patellas, no biggie. For others, they react right away. It's common to do with athletes to see if some types of prehab may be necessary.

My doc did the test correctly, but he did it three days after I'd dislocated it. Idiot. I instinctively bolted upright and grabbed him by the collar. I think his life flashed before his eyes.
