its not Osgood-Schlatter, i had that when i was about 11 doing lots of cross country running and growing like mad.
the lumps have gone down a bit today but heyre still there. im having a day off the bike today for a change as im feeling shagged by riding lots everyday.
im gonna play with my saddle position and see if that has any effect. ive only started getting it from riding my geared bike, so i think it might have something to do with spinning alot more than i would have on my fixed. it might well be some kind of muscle development, but im concerned it might not be.
i know forums arnt the best place for medical advice, but unless the problem persists or gets worse i canne be bothered to go the doctors. anecdotal advice is still useful, especially as my GP is unlikely to be a bike rider.
