Knee pain

[Marky Mark]

I have been struck down with knee pain in my right knee.

Had niggles in the left one for ages but this does not effect my riding in any way.

The right one has just started hurting like a bitch, not too bad standing on it, going down stair is really painfull.

I've got Brighton this weekend and my TT the following one.. H.E.L.P because there is no way I'm missing either of them.
Pain killers and rest is the only thing that comes to mind, any other advice will be truly welcomed.

First try to identify why it started hurting so suddenly. Have you done anything different in recent days which might have cause it? Increased mileage/intensity - different position etc?

Could it be a side effect of the seatpost incident?

[Robh]

Nah it's nerves he was suppose to do a LBP test tonight .

We think (just got off the phone to Mark) it's to do with Golf on Sunday.

Probably just a one-off injury from not being used to the heavy bag/hilly walk then. Hopefully nothing that a couple of days off won't cure. Fingers crossed

Should I put a knee warmer on to give it support or leave it El'natural?

R.I.C.E is a good place to start

Rest Ice Compression Elevation

So yeah - stick something tight on it, get the frozen peas out, keep it up and supported when sitting down and try to stay off it for a bit

Getting it looked at today.
Got my doctors at 09.40, don't hold out much hope for a GP to sort it.
Then 12.30 sports injury clinic at Warlingham Green.
Fingers crossed folks.
