Now I am only using my bike for commuting but still having knee pain even after walking a couple of miles. I have inflammation around my knees all day while sitting on my office chair. Life has been a nightmare for me for the last few years. Anyway... I was out with bike to do some shopping yesterday and I realised my kneecap was maltracking badly while going uphill (%2-3 inclination maybe). My right kneecap was going in and out of its groove while I was pedalling. All the orthopedist I visitied having MRI's and x-ray's of my knee while it is in straight position and they say they don't see a major problem but it looks like I have problem when I bend my knees. It could be weak tendons or muscle imbalance, I don't know the cause and I also don't know how to cure it. Anyone else have the same problem and found a way to fix it?
1) Stop consulting the internet for medical needs.
2) Get a real medical opinion from a sports medicine doc.
