I have developed extreme knee pain in my left knee which a doctor said is more then likely the cartilidge being destroyed. I took time off and it has almost gone away. The problem is the pain only came around once i got a trainer and took to the trainer more then the road.
I have never had pain riding on the road and have had a professional fitting to make sure i fit the bike right. Any ideas on why the trainer could be causing this problem when the road does not?
I like the trainer in that a lot of the time i can only ride at night when it is dark out. Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

What are the chances of taking the trainer to the same place that fitted your bike to you? If you are convinced that the knee pain could not have come from any other source (other than cycling) and nothing else is different (ie. new cleats, different pedals etc) it sounds like it's a issue related to fit.

be relax might be the best way -
Knee pain can be attributed to your position on the bike, while riding. If you are in your local shop getting fitted that is one thing but when you are riding it could be you are shifting your weight. For example maybe you slid forward on your saddle.
Knee pain can be caused by your foot being in the wrong position on the pedal. For example, your toe can be pointed out which can cause pain in cartilage area.
As for your trainer. You are too vague. Is your road bike mounted on a stationary trainer? Is your road bike used with rollers? Or, is it a stationary trainer with a fly wheel? Are you pushing big gears on the trainer? Too many variables you left out to help or maybe now you can look at some more variables yourself.
Knee pain could be tendonitis or it could be cartilage.
