Knee trouble--tendinitis - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

12-07-2004, 09:40 AM

After six years of bike commuting, I have my first knee problems. The
doctor said it was probably tendinitis with a strained and possibly
tearing ligament. I tried ice, ibuprofin and a knee brace, but it's
getting worse, and I'm going to stop riding for a week or two (it helps
that it's getting colder). I probably should have stretched before
rides. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with knee
problems like this? Thank you.
