at my kneecap. As a friend said: Feels like someone sticking an ice pick in my kneecap. It doesn't hurt all the time, just when I put some sort of load on it...like as I sit down, or sometimes comming up the stairs.

My trainer at the gym says this is a classic overuse problem...and here I've been worried I'm not riding enough.

How do I deal with this? It's freakin' me out cause I know I'm not riding enough in prep for the ALC, but I know it needs to heal or it'll get worse.

UGGH! I'm frustrated!
