Pain in the front, inside of the knee... means?

[spazzdog]

I don't know grrl... it really points to position/fit on the bike/pedals.

Front of the knee is the patella (knee cap) with the patellar tendon running down the front and retinacular tendons to each side.

I found this site www.bikefitting.com which has some great (though VERY detailed) info.

This link specifically speaks to knee issues: http://bikefitting.com/English/FAQ/KneeFemur.aspx

Also, this link: http://www.coloradocyclist.com/BikeFit/index.cfm

scroll down to item D to see the proper "neutral" position, though the entire page is quite informative.

Secondarily, are you taking some sort of anti-inflammatory? Speaking from experience, the rest part is important, but you need to take an anti-inflammatory. Knees have some of the worst circulation because its such a complex joint. So, when you ride take some tylenol, advil (name your poison) pre-ride. When you return, sit down and ice the knee and take the meds.

It takes a long time with knees... trust me. I'm the proud recipient of 2 knee scopes.
