What is it? Sounds like I need one.

This is a foam roller. It is used to work out the tension in your muscles. There are links to exercises/how to use throughout this thread.

So....really, you should see a doc if the pain keeps up after minor saddle adjustments and such. I could have pretty much written your post. My knees started getting messed up when I started walking strangely/adjusting my walking due to a neuroma (angry nerve) in the ball of my foot. From there, something happened, and basically my knee cap isn't tracking correctly, and has too much movement...so it slides around and hurts. I just started seeing a physical therapist for this. Apparently (based on her tests), I have really strong muscles in some places (the biking ones), and some major deficits in other places (hopefully stretches will be able to fix my problem). GOOD LUCK!

I've had knee pain for years. I had physical therapy a few years ago, and it has helped some; the PT said biking was excellent. The doc said I'd just have to put up with it until it was bad enough for a knee replacement. (yikes!) Losing weight helped some, but it still hurt to be on my feet more than a few minutes, and there was minor pain while bikeing. Then about a month ago, I started yoga classes twice a week, and trying some of the moves at home. The knee pain is gone! Or darned near. I don't know which of the many moves caused the miracle, but I'm grateful
