So November 10th I'm JRA with a buddy and we come to light. I can't unclip (due, it turns out, to
wearing booties with campus pedals) and just before I topple over I rip my foot out of the pedal
by brute force, and my knee into the bars. Hurts like the dickens but I keep on riding for a
couple of hours, major climbing included. Pain is pretty much gone at the end of the ride (about
2.5 hours later).
Well a month later my knee gets really sensitive under the knee-cap. I can't kneel, even on a bed or
carpet. Even the "pressure" from riding in tights or rainpants hurts it.
It is almost 3 months later, and this thing is still sensitive (a little bit less so....). Should I
just be patient? Is riding better, or rest? (I am riding less and swimming more, more due to crappy
weather than my knee....).
Thanks in advance for any advice or anecdotes. Bike Dude.
