Nicola was very helpful yesterday, thanks again for the recommendations.
This is only the beginning of the recovery but that first session was very professional, friendly and thorough, and has given me some confidence that this will be resolved in the not too distant future.
Was found to have multiple areas of increased muscle tightness on the affected side when compared to my other leg - which may be pulling the patella out of alignment/or too tightly against the femur leading to the pain when I move it, if I understand it correctly.
Had some massage, some acupuncture (not in the chi forces sense, rather just inserting a needle into the area of tight muscle, encouraging a relaxtion response apparently) and have been sent away with orders to not cycle, and do some stretches everyday (hamstrings/iliopsoas/glut medius).
She remembers you btw Hippy!
