An update on my knee pain. The last day I posted was friday, and I got a cold the same day. I stopped riding until this monday. I rode really easy on the 52x18. Tuesday and Wednesday I went to a bike shop to test ride a bike and did 25miles each day to the shop and back. Yesterday my knee was hurting a bit on the way to the shop. After 7 miles it started getting worse. When I started pulling up with my heels the pain would go away. I made it to the shop and test road the road bike I was interested in. Five minutes into the test ride and my left knee got a really bad cramp. Ive never had a knee cramp on the bike, or any cramp whatsoever while playing sports in high school. The pain was so bad that I had to ride back to the shop with only one leg. I asked to test ride the bike again after they made some adjustments to the handlebars and seat. Went out and tried again but my knee was hurting horribly so I turned back. I left the shop and slowly rode home. The first few miles were bad but near the end I started going faster and the pain went away. I went to class last night and managed to walk around. Right now my knee hurts horribly if I stand up and walk, but if I'm not moving it doesn't hurt. If I pull myself up I can stand on it and the pain goes away after like 3 seconds. I can put weight on it as well and it doesn't hurt too bad. But moving my leg or walking feels horrible. I'm going to take an Ibuprofen right now, hopefully it helps.
