  • A couple of weeks ago I started getting some pain in the right knee. I tried riding on it but got a lot of pain when standing up. Sharp and quite painful. So I've now been off the bike for about two weeks. This syndrome has been mentioned as a possible cause. It hurts going up and down stairs and all seems to fit my symptoms. I think this all stems from my track training, seat hill climbs, pushing big gears. Being my first season, this was all reasonably new to a skinny whippet such as myself.

    Does anyone have any experience of this syndrome or this type of pain?

    Should I go to the doctor or will he just recommend rest?

    After reading up, I think my options are:

    • Strengthen the quadriceps muscles (vastus medialis obliquus)
    • stop my knee moving in the down stroke
    • stop seated hill climbing and buy a turbo!

    Cheers
