I came down with some extremely sharp pain in my right knee during a ride.
I actually ride the last 8 miles with my right foot unclipped (not fun). I
waited a few days and tried to ride again. The pain returned.
I went to an Orth Surg, and he diagnosed Patella Compression Syndrome. Gave
me some exercises to help realign everything. After two weeks of doing them
the pain went away and has yet to return.
YMMV, HTH
