I had several great weeks of cycling and did high mileage stuff. Then I did hills one day and my left quad area went CUCKOO! I have MAJOR swelling above the knee joint and my range of motion is limited by the stiffness. It swells just from puttering around the house, doing light chores. Needless to say I'm not walking or riding and I'm keeping my knee elevated. I've taken so much ibuprofen that I'm sick of it. Man, I hope I'm not off the bike for the rest of the summer. Have an appt with the ortho tentatively next week. Looks like I have tendonitis of the VMO.

I was just getting into it really good too.
