Knee Problems

CHIPPY1979

I have recently gotten back on the bike after a 3 year sabbitical due kids etc. During my youth a played a lot of soccer and tore both my cruciate ligaments but had them repaired (approx 10 years ago).

Over the last month or two I have been experiencing a numbness and soreness on both knees but in particular my right (never experienced this before) I had an MRI today and have been diagoinised with chomdromalacia patella. I have ambitions of giving the Etape a go next year, july 11 and I am wondering if other cyclists have experienced this ailment and what they did to get over it and how long to took them to get over it.

Sorry to hear about your knee's,recently I have experienced some pain in my left knee and it's always been my right knee that has given me trouble.

I am no expert I have in the past tried time pedals and its always worked for me.Recently I thought I would give them ago again and it didn't work at all in fact it was almost worse so I went back to my keo's.

I was going to start a thread on this very topic,so I am just as interested as you in solutions and I will follow with great interest.

Sorry I have no real solutions as of yet.
