Pain on outside of knee when in drops

albob

Hi all,
I am experiencing pain in the outside of my right knee when in the drops and pedalling. Has anyone experienced this before? Maybe its time to pays for a professional bike fitting/setup! [Even though I wonder how profressional these sometimes are]
Thanks

Try adjusting your saddle fore/aft position. This is assuming that your saddle height is pretty correct already, but I'm guessing it is or you might have pain when on the hoods also.

that sounds like a cruciate, get checked out by a physio first, you dont want them to go:(

Certainly don't! Could anyone recommend a physio who would be familiar with cycling injuries? I'm in the Cork area.

I got a pain in the outside of my knee a while back and it turned out that my cleat position needed adjustment

I found this article useful and made some adjustments.

It has been fine ever since!

This is the danger about asking for medical advice from the internet.
Go and see a physio/doctor/sports medicine specialist. Anterior Cruciate injury is an acute injury characterised by acute trauma. I have never heard of it presenting as lateral knee pain.

Very good article, with great advice. I should know I snapped my ACL and Medial. Man It's big time pain, so be careful folks look after them knees.

Assuming you're using clipless pedals, try adjusting the cleat on your shoe into a more comfortable position
