This summer I started to get a sharp pain at the very front of the knee cap on the left leg. In the past it would happen, then by the end of the ride go away. Early this summer the pain stayed for an entire ride, but could be put at bay if I changed the way I pedaled and stood for every climb. No chance of pushing over 15mph on a flat section. Today I rode without any pain at all, and averaged 14mph for 30 miles, stood for every climb and was able to push 22 on the flats.


Originally I thought there was a tear in the meniscus, however now I am not sure what to make of it. Going to the doc at end of month, then he sends me to a specialist and the bills start to accumulate! Anyone have a similar experience, and what did you do to remedy it?
