I think you’re onto something. At the very top of my knee, where I’m assuming muscle would attach it is tender, a bit sore. I only notice this when I cross my leg over it. About a month ago at the peak of the discomfort/pain I had a throbbing pain (kinda like a toothache).to the outside of the knee that radiated up and down my leg. It was hard to find a position that was comfortable. Interrupted sleep at times.

I used a compression knee brace for five or six weeks and that helped with walking and standing at work. I’m much better and I don’t use the brace anymore. My walking is nearly if not completely back to normal. While the ride yesterday went fine I definitely felt discomfort/slight pain and weakness in my knee. So it seems I’m not completely healed and the spinning while riding irritates it.

I’m wondering if I should stay off the bike for another month or so. It’s been very frustrating.

Cheers,

Scott
