Congratulations on the win!\n\nPity about your knee. I think you should do two things:\n\n1 If this is persistent, get some advice from a good sports physio or a specialist doctor. It doesn't sound within the normal range of post-ride aches and pains.\n\n2 Change your pedals for a set with more float - both frogs and eggbeaters are good in this respect. Maybe even consider returning to platforms. Try a few vigorous training rides on platforms and see if this cures the problem. \n\nIf you have the typical woman's wide pelvis your knee joints will be inwardly rotated to a greater degree than some (straight up and down) women and most men. You require the maximum floatability because the anatomical relationship in the length from hip joint to knee joint causes a lot more rotational movement of the long female femur. \n\nDon't risk your knees, you'll spend more than half your life regretting it. I speak from experience. I'm a lifelong mad-keen cyclist. Now I'm in my mid-50's a ride every day with clicky knees and a dull, precisely bounded pain somewhere in the medial side of my right knee joint. Getting up stairs is painful for me and sometimes so acute I think my right knee is going to give way. Its a heavy price to pay when I still have maybe 35 years cycling left in me.

First of all, I am an avid runner myself and am not entirely sure of what this 'runner's knee' injury you're describing is.  In terms of treating the injury, if the pain in your knee is enough to physically stop you from running, or makes the motions difficult, you should stop running entirely for approximately 5 days before getting going again; during which time, you could look into getting an exercise ball or doing core workouts to maintain fitness.  \n\nIcing your knee where the pain is most intense is always a good bet too: 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off is the widely-used standard.  In addition to icing, taking ibuprofen (Motrin/ Advil), will help decrease any inflammation, which is likely the cause of the pain.\n\nOnce you feel you can get out on your leg, you probably should, but should start out very slowly, but you shouldn't jump back into doing a half mile right away.  Your best bet is probably to start with an up-tempo walk, just to work on building up some stamina and to give your knee a good break.  After anywhere between 1 and 3 weeks of doing these walks (dependant on how soon the pain subsides), start substituting a few walks a week with light jogs; again, nothing too strenuous or long.  \n\nIf these relatively simple steps don't help you with recovery from this injury, your best bet may be to see a physiotherapist, who can also take advantage of various machines that will help with such problems.  Good luck and happy running!

Because of the cost of a brace that may or may not work,try wrapping the knee with a large ACE bandage.\nStart wrapping above the knee and finish below the knee.  You can use 2 ACE's if you need to.\nPain is a great motivator and the body's way of trying to tell you to quit what you are doing. . . .get into enough pain and you WILL quit bending your knee and sitting on it.

I was diagnosed with this many years ago when I was much younger.  It kept me out of P.E. class for my Senior year in High School.  After I graduated I started a very demanding job being on my feet all day and lots of heavy lifting.  My knee problems went away.  I've had other difficult jobs since then and my current job keeps me moving, all day ( Not much lifting ).  Sometimes, I'll have mild pain in my knee, when it is at its worst I'll put on a knee brace, take some asprin and it's fine in a day or two.  I think being inactive was the worst thing for me and being active has helped.  Please be carefull, listen to what your Doctor says, your condition may be worse than mine ( or not ).  If the pain gets to be too much, take a break!

First of all, you need more milk! Then you can get some knee braces and then more milk. Then so some knee exercises with weights and then more milk. Then stretch it out then put some ice and then... go to sleep and let the healing begin. Wake up, and then more milk.

Be sure to talk to your doctor about this.  You may need some physical therapy to strengthen the knee.  If you are not happy with your doctor, seek another for a second opinion.  Life is short and you do not need to be slowed down by this disabling condition.

i just had knee surgury myself and it's a bitch getting motivated to get back in there.  this may sound ridiculously simple, but change your diet, cut back on your processed sugars and such.  I also got really depressed right after my acl surgury and it made me eat more than i should have been. \n\nalso, i have to convince myself everytime i go to work out that working through the pain is ok.  you know your own limitations.  don't use your injuries as an excuse.  you know how far you can push yourself, just don't over do it an re-injure yourself.\n\nset goals for yourself and keep a log of what you're doing everyday and include what you're eating.  leave that comfort food behind you.  But remember, these things take a little time.  don't let yourself be discouraged and give up.  It's not all going to come back overnight.\n\nbest of luck!

Go see your Doctor!  You could prevent a very painful knee replacement when you are older.

Well first you have to figure out what type of hamstring you have. Grade 1,2 or 3.\n\nGrade 1:\n-Might have tightness in the thigh. \n-May be able to walk properly. \n-Probably won't have much swelling. \n-Lying on front and trying to bend the knee against resistance probably won't produce much pain. \n\nGrade 2:\n-Probably cannot walk properly. \n-May get occasional sudden twinges of pain during activity. \n-May notice swelling. \n-Pressing in causes pain. \n-Bending the knee against resistance causes pain. \n-Might be unable to fully straighten the knee. \n\nGrade 3-\n-Unable to walk properly without the aid of crutches. \n-In severe pain. \n-Bad swelling appear immediately. \n-A static contraction will be painful and might produce a bulge in the muscle. \n-Expect to be out of competition for 3 to twelve weeks or more. \n\n     After you figure out which one you have here is how to heal it:\n\nGrade 1:\n-Use a compression bandage or heat retainer until you feel no pain. \n-See a sports injury professional who can advise on rehabilitation and strengthening. \n\nGrade 2-\n-Ice, compress, elevate, use crutches for 3 to 5 days. \n-See a sports injury specialist who can advise on rehabilitation.\n\nGrade 3:\n-Seek medical attention immediately!!! \n-R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate.) Use crutches. \n-See a sports injury professional who can advise on rehabilitation and prevention.

avoid exercises that result in repeat impact to your knees: jumping, running, jogging, etc. Try using an elliptical where you never remove your foot from the surface and you are using your thighs and calves. \nDespite the advice you may get about using weights or floor exercises, it's better for you to do cardiovascular exercises than to do things that will build up or tone muscle- you don't want big thighs right? You want to burn fat and maintain a healthy heart so stick with the cardio work up that will avoid further injuring yur needs. Swimming is great but not readily available. If you have access to a pool year round (and don't mind ruining your hair)- go for it! Otherwise, Try the elliptical.

Swimming. That's what I did. I have bad knees also, and after swimming, I don't have as many problem. And swimming doesn't hurt them, because you aren't putting pressure on them. I hope your knees get better. Have an awesome day :)

After working unloading trucks for 6 months, my knees hurt so much I couldn't climb the 1 flight of steps to my apartment. My cousin, who works in a nursery and spends all day kneeling and lifting trees and plants, turned me on to glucosamine sulfate.\n\nBuy them at ay drug store. Glucosamine Sulfate. Not the fancier stuff with extra stuff in it. \nTake 2 at night for a week.\nThen take 1 a day for at least a month. \nYou'll feel like a new person.\n\nWhenever you have flare-ups in the future, take 1 a day until the pain stops - usually in a week.\n\nIt helps to rebuild the cartalige in your knees, and your bones are pressing on their natural cushion again, unstead of a flattened, compressed sponge, which creates friction on your bones.

There are several things you can try.\n\nAnti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen or Naproxen may be helpful, taken with food.\n\nFill an empty soda bottle with water and freeze.  With a sock on, roll your heel over the ice bottle for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day.\n\nNEVER go barefoot!  NOt even to the bathroom in the middle of the night.  Always have good supportive shoes on.\n\nStretching your calf muscle may help, particularly if you have a tight achilles to begin with.  Face a wall, and place your plans on it.  With the affected leg further behind you, lean into the wall, keeping your back leg straight and the heel on the floor.  Then stretch with your knee slightly bent.\n\nIf these methods don't work, see your health care provider.  A stronger anti-inflammatory medicine may be prescribed, he or she may evaluate you for orthotics, or supports that go into your shoes.  Physical therapy may be helpful, and some people even have a cortisone injection into the heel.
