Some may recall I was going to do a 130 mile cycle trip, then knackered my knee a couple of days
beforehand. Well, I've finally worked far enough through the NHS to find someone that seemed to take
it seriously. I had an appointment with a physiotherapist, who spent longer examining and prodding
and whatnot than all 3 GP visits and the x-rays put together.
Apparently, I have a hyper-mobile kneecap, and some inflamation in both knees. Nothing much can be
done about it in the short-term, I have some exercises that should help long-term. The good news is
that in both knees teh joint itself is "rock solid", and I don't need to restrict my cycling at all.
Running up stairs and sudden violent movements are to be avoided, is all (so no karate, I guess).
Very pleased with this (especially the no need to restrict cycling).
regards, Ian SMith
