  1. 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

    Good news, as someone who has had major reconstructive surgery on a knee joint, I would not wish a
    knee injury on anyone.

  4. Good news it isn't going to restrict your cycling and that exercises will help long-term.
