  1. I have been riding about ten miles a day for the last three years. I
    have not changed the setup on my bike for the last two years, and have
    had no problems until recently. Several times just before I get up in
    the morning (while still laying down in bed) the back of my left knee
    starts to really hurt. The pain is not in or just behind the kneecap. It
    seems to be just below the skin in the hollow of the rear part of the knee.

    It almost seems like a spasm but feels somewhat different, and drinking
    quinine water does not seem to help.

    Any ideas about what is going on would be appreciated.

    TIA,
    Ernie

    Check out this informative bit about knee pain....

  3. your shoe heels are worn. take a look.

    cut cardboard and insert these lifts at heels

    pushes pelvis froward, allows relief to the popliteal

    check- exrx.whatever- website for excercises to ease this out

  4. Try riding in a higher gear.I nearly tore my kneecaps off riding in 1st
    after I reached 50.I'd also see a doctor if the pain continues.It only
    took me one visit and a perscription to relieve a problem that had been
    ongoing for a year os so.
