I sustained a knee injury 5 months ago and am just now getting back on my bike. I wanted to make sure I didnt harm my knee any more so I went in for a bike fit. Before this fitting, I had been back on my bike for 2 weeks and even did two 60 mile rides, feeling great
During the fit, I got a wider saddle to center myself on the seat(I was apparently shifting to the left, and injured side), seat raised and pushed forward and cleats moved all the way forward.
The next day I went to ride it and I got this stabbing pain right under my knee cap, on the non injured leg. We pushed back the seat some (but not too much to aggravate the bad left leg) and moved the cleats back 1 cm. Its been a week and a half and the pain is not subsiding. It usually begins 25-30 min into a ride and feels the worst on the down stroke.
Any suggestions as to what might be going on? The guy who fit me says it might be patello femoral pain syndrome, but I dont know how that could be since the pain occurred right after a bike fitting.
