 Poster: A snowHead
|
I seem to have picked up a knee niggle. I first noticed it a few months ago, and I think it was caused by cycling. It was a little tender for a week or so in certain positions but nothing particularly painful. There wasn't any swelling.
I haven't really cycled much yet this year, but do run on the treadmill. Normally cover 5-10k and have no issues with it whatsoever.
The only time it bothers me is when I squat, so my legs are completely bent but knees aren't touching the floor. while I'm squatting there isn't any pain but when I stand up it feels a bit painful, like I cant really put any weight on it. it usually sorts its self out in a couple of minutes, or more quickly if I stretch out (hamsting/calf).
I don't think its that serious but its been that way for a few months now, so I thought I would see what you guys thought?
Thanks!

My knees have been like that for over half a century. they've not got any worse, though.

I have an old mcl injury which has now been in a bitg of a flare up since November. I can ski with it but need a couple of days off after about a week on the planks. It's more stiff and painful when not skiing to be honest

I picked up an extra knee problem after cycling for a few months. This was sorted after I bought a foam roller and started rolling on the sides and tops of my thighs. I think I was told it was the IT band tightening which was causing problems and is common with cyclists.
