That said, nurofen and a wetsuit rubber knee support would be wise, followed by a trip to the physio as soon as possible to get strength/stability exercises underway. Staying off the bike unti lyou get to the physio would be prudent.

You've probably damaged a ligament or tendon. You need to find out how long it takes to heal.
I damaged knee ligaments in running once. was advised to give up running for about a year. Its really not worth messing around with.

But seriously, a word of advice from someone who has contributed to his own physical problems later in life - seek professional advice early and do not be in a hurry in any matters to do with your physical well being.

I'd still go the physio, but perhaps a cycling-specific one. Out of curiosity, do you also pedal knees-inward a little, perhaps brush your top tube on the upstroke from time to time?

I've found the Specialized Body Geometry insoles very helpful in alleviating the problem. Running both sets of orange varus forefoot shims stops the knock-knees and my knees are much better aligned between ankle and pelvis - and now hinge in the correct plane during the pedal stroke.
For normal walking I have orthotics that tip my heel outwards so that I don't pronate.
You've reminded me I need ot resume my core and leg stability maintenance exercises now that the flu I had is gone.

If you can reproduce the pain by bending your knee and pressing just in front of the MCL, into and downwards in the joint space, then it likely includes a medial meniscus insult.
You might have hurt both structures too.
The former can heal faster than the latter.
Both would benefit from rest from vigorous activity, ice, appn of support bandage, elevation at work, oral anti-inflammatories, hydration, .....gradual return to activity as pain settles.

Maybe check your seat height too. It could be a little low if you're getting pain at the top of the upstroke. This might be causing your knee to bend a little more than it should.

Yours is from repetitive stress. According to Dave, his isn't.shann wrote:I occasionally get pain in the same place, if I run or pedal in too high a gear while going up hill. The physio says it is bursitis, and results from a large Q angle.
