Knee injury. Last Thursdays ride ended in the same debilitating pain that the ride 3.5 weeks before ended with.

For a while I thought it was an MCL injury, but doing research, it seems those type of injuries usually come with pain and swelling after the fact, which I did not have. I may not have been able to pedal with any force at all with the left leg, but as soon as I got home and off the bike, there was no pain or swelling whatsoever. Even running up and down stairs...

Now I'm thinking it may be an IT Band strain. Most common cause for cyclists? Positioning the saddle to far back or too high. I know I experimented with raising the saddle, now when did I adjust it back?

Still think I should get it checked out just to be sure though. Hell, I have this insurance card burning a whole in my wallet and bank account, I might as well use it. However a sports trainer with experience in sports injuries might be better...

Sucks to be off the bike though. Cabin fever sets in every morning...
dmac:
Oh no!!! That's terrible! Definitely get it checked by a specialist, if not a sports med doc then an orthopedist. The sooner you get some treatment & PT the sooner your cabin fever will see some relief. Sorry to hear about this. I know you've been so committed to your riding schedule.

On the other hand, how's school? Marching band going ok?
