After quite a thorough examination the conclusion is that my knee pain is caused my a misbalance in my leg muscles.
Cycling causes this as we don't fully extend the leg during exercise. Hence not all of the muscle groups get the same work out and the muscles become unbalanced. This in turn causes the knee cap to move (mine is apparently 1 cm lower than normal).
To correct this, I'm having a laser treatment (which is supposed to assist in repairing the damaged cells caused by the muis-alignment and have to start excersing my legs at the final range of motion. i.e. the last few degrees of movement before the the legs are fully extended.
1) 2 weeks - lie on your back, legs straight, raise R leg 6 inches hold for 2 seconds, then down. 10 Reps R, 10 reps L. 3 sets of each.
2) After 2 weeks - 1Kg weights on ancles, leg extensions. 3 sets of 10 on each leg.
Thought that this might help anyone else having knee pains...
