Core strengthening exercise like yoga helps too.
I would start with a good look at saddle positioning and cleat positioning on yoir shoes and go from there.

everyone’s stories are just awesome!

Thanks ROT1
i have been through all that and did help. What is left is knee pain from the previous damage and becomes tender when miles pile up sometimes.
I liked the details the the last poster went through when did PBP.
