I have been off the bike since before Christmas with a swelling above the outer side of the knee on my left leg.
There was no specific incident which caused this but I have upped the training and returned to track in the last few months. I was just starting to get a few results too so this is really pissing me off.
I have been to a physio and I have had 6 sessions but it has made very little difference. They believe it may be quadricep tendonitis and I am going to be referred to a knee specialist.
Its really depressing me as I have never had a leg injury before. Had anyone ever had this and what was the recovery time. I have been given stretching exercises etc which I am doing but I'm a bit doom and gloom right now :(
I have to exercise though so I am swimming using a float on my legs, otherwise I will go mad.
Only good thing is I get health care through work so can see a specialist and they will cover the costs.
