Hello all,

So, I have been battling feet/knee problems for the past several years. I just went to an ortho and was given the "patellofemoral syndrome" diagnosis. (Commonly called runner's knee). Basically, my knee tracks incorrectly (tendency to roll out), causing irritation, pain upon bending, straightening, stairs, etc. Popping, hyperextension, cracking etc. (Lucky me!)


I have been in physical therapy for 1.5 months. Am will continue with it. I was told I can still ride my bike (hallelujia!), but not as long, and not when it is painful.

In the past, I only had walking pain, not biking pain. But, now I am having some biking pain/swelling/irritation.

I ice, heat, take ibuprofen, take it easy, wear a brace etc.

But, anyone have this experience with patellofemoral pain/cycling? Any cycling specific things you found to be helpful? Any additional cycling stretches I can do to help with cycling pain? Any thoughts at all?

Thanks as always to each of yoU!
