Swollen Ankles and knees.
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 8:43 pm
Hi all.
One week of riding clipped to pedals has left me with swollen feet. The top of my foot above the ankle is sore to touch and obviously swollen up. The shoes are comfortable and a good size, Scott mtb shoes.
I think it stems from poor technique, and that Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation will sort it out. No biggie.
However has anyone had this? It is 18km each way to work and I ride daily. When I pedal I am not sure if I should be keeping a 90 degree angle between my foot and leg by holding my feet rigid pointing forward so to speak. The alternative I suppose is to let my feet flop up and down as I pedal.
Difficult to explain, anyway if it persists will see a Dr and maybe Physio.
