Dunno if you answers questions? Im 29 and I pretty much only ride my bike these days, dont run anymore. After a very vigorous ride the other other day, I noticed some discomfort in my left knee in the evening. Its been a couple of days and hasnt really improved. Sitting down with knees bent seems to aggravate it, but even still its not pain, just discomfort. Didnt notice anything while riding. Anyone got any ideas? am gonna see a doc in a bit over a week, but thought id ask anyways. cheers.
@muddwell it depends where your knee is hurting mate, when cycling you should have a cadence of 80 rpm.. your seat should also be in the correct position when seated your heel should just touch the pedal when the pedal is as far down as possible. lighter gear more rotations is key to overcomin cycling injuries. where does your knee hurt and when?
@mrmrgino1983 cheers for the reply and the advice. it ended up being a ligament sprain (kind of). took about 6-8 weeks, but was good in the fact I learnt a lot more about proper riding position, technique etc. thanks again.
If I have this, is it going to affect me forever?...i feel like its just not going to be the same and my knee is never going to let me play at a high level...i play soccer
2. lying on your side, cross your top leg over your bottom leg, while still giving it room to move. raise the bottom leg 20 times, per leg. This gets the inner thigh muscles.
3. lying on your side, raise your top leg 20 times per leg. this gets the outer thigh muscles.
do these leg raises 1-2x a day. If 20 reps starts to be a little easier, add ankle weights, or increase the number of reps.
if you absolutely need to still play your sport, buy two of these to wear:
This is a pretty good video, IMO, insofar as it explains the origin of chondromalacia due to maltracking.
Most malalignments, however, are not insignificant enough that massage, passive stretching, etc. is worth a damn.
Removal of the source of the maltracking via *extremely* complex, and high-risk surgery (i.e. derotational osteotomy) is the only real hope. This is a fairly common procedure in the EU, but not the USA.
I had this for three years. I couldn't run or do martial arts. I took Chondritin AND IT CURED IT!! Im not bullshitting you. Take chondritin you will thank me!!
@Fupper16 how many miligrams per day ?im taking 2 a day which is equivalent to 1200mg and it doesnt help me at all it's been like that for over a year now
@Fupper16 I take 2 pills twice daily of 500 mg each, which I believe is 2000 mg daily. I'm taking it for 3 months straight on an empty stomach. Don't miss doses and don't listen to doctors who say this can't be cured! They only prescribe PHYSICAL THERAPY which hardly ever works.
In addition, don't roll them every day as you could damage them further. try to do it once every other day. Finally, don't just look at videos on the internet. There's still nothing better for repairing a biomechanical problem than a good physio.
This video is very VERY helpful. That test in particular.
VIEWERS: tight IT bands (iliotibial bands) are very common, and you can buy foam rollers to get them to roll them out a bit. (you can't stretch them as such as they are collagen, not muscle.) My advice is to get a 2l bottle of fizzy drink, get rid of the contents and then fill it almost to the top with water. Replace the cap, then use the bottle to roll out your IT band. you need a little air in it to make sure it's just a bit squishy.
Thanks ! Oh . .Steve jobs xD!

with the right exercise you can actually correct the malalighment, squats with a ball in between your knees usually helps

Very informative video, really liked the info on what causes the tracking problem.
I have chondromalcia patellae, my physical therapist gave me a routine that's show GREAT results, and I'd like to share with you guys.
Do IT band, quad, and hamstring stretches 1min per leg 2x a day.
Straight leg raises, variations.
1. lying on your back, raise 20 times per leg, this gets the quad muscles.
