I borrowed a set of leg armour with knee protection for a ride a few months ago. My first time with armour. The track was a tight, rocky path and I was worried about smashing a leg so I wore them for about 20mins before the pressure they put on my knobbly knees was too much to suffer. For two weeks after, my kneecaps were very sensitive to any pressure. They've been OK on all trips since then. From this experience it seems I'll never be able to wear leg armour for any length of time unfortunately.
Last week though I was out wearing cold weather tights, very close fitting around the legs, and now my knees are very sensitive again. They're not painful, but any pressure on my kneecaps, even from trousers, is uncomfortable. I have no problems wearing shorts. Can anyone say if it's common to get this "housemaids knee" from armour, if that's what it is, and how long it takes to completely clear up?

Cannot answer your questions. Have you sought out medical advice?

It might be helpful to know your age.
