Training & Nutrition - Pain in the back of the knee

Lately I´ve been getting this pain in my left leg when i ride.
It´s in the opposite side of the knee, the joint.
It´s most noticeable in the beginning of my ride, usually goes away after about 10 miles give or take a few.
Anyone know what could be the prob?

take a look at this article it has some information on knee problems :)

Do you stretch before you push off for your ride? What about a good warmup for the first 5-20 minutes to get the muscles loose?

You gotta stretch them hammies

Thanks for the site, could be helpful in the future also.

Just for the record I already stretch like a madman.

I had the same problem... a while ago.. it basically fells like the muscle is sore, and kinda pops during your spin ?

if the answer is yes, did you recently raise your seat at all ?

I found my saddle was about 1 inch too high, and my leg was stretching too far in my spin. Lowered it down, took a few days for for the pain to go away,a nd have had no pain since...

good luck.. let us know how it goes

Agree with Sipper a high saddle will give pain to back of knees, to low hurts the front of knees.
