    Think about the rest of your life, too, since many of us spend most of our time OFF the bike. How you sit, stand, walk, work...it all adds up. I developed terrible hip and back problems that had nothing to do with my cycling, but everything to do with my posture over my lifetime, my work setup, and my stress levels.

    Feel better soon.

    Roller, roller ,roller it will help "iron" out the soreness.

    A knee exercise (a little hard to explain)
    sit on floor
    bend knee so foot is flat on floor
    take your fingers and lightly press against the muscle where it ties into the top inside of your knee. While lightly pressing/touching contract the muscle for 2 seconds, release and repeat several times. The reason you touch the muscle with your fingers it to trigger the nerves and basically say "hey muscle, I am talking to your" Sometimes when we contract our quads we are just using the larger part of the muscle and those little fibers get lazy. Whenever my knee starts to bug me I immediately go back to doing these a few times a day.

    A good PT will be able to get you on the right path to working out the kinks.
