No pain, just feels weird.
At a push, I can do it with a cushion under knee.
Another member of the “won’t kneel down club”. I can tolerate it with a cushion when pulling weeds. I had the replacement done the old school way through the front. That method usually involves some collateral nerve damage which makes kneeling uncomfortable. I would be interested in feedback from people who have had the procedure done through the side as I will eventually need to have the other wheel replaced.
