i_rule_the_world Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 (edited) been to doccys my knee problem from riding is called chondromalacia patella which is softening of the cartlidge behind the patella(knee cap) it heals itself but takes 2yrs roughly, and if u think u have it as soon as it starts to hurt in your knee stop doing the activity so it will not rub away your cartlidge. if your knee hurts when u put pressure on it/move ur kneecap from side to side with your hand and it hurts a bit, ull have it thought u guys might want to know :thumbsup: chars RU Edited November 2, 2003 by i_rule_the_world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Manual Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Thought this should be in FAQ as this is a common problem that I have as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Also there's a similar problem, where the muscle grows faster than the bone, or the bone grows faster than the muscle. The muscle or bone is stretched as a result causing pain when riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I have the problem only when I'm walking, but thats not often, not great pain but enough to notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the customary lump of cartalidge under the flesh on your knee then? I have that too, it was really bad the year I got it (forced doing high jump damnit). I was off sport for a year, and even sitting down it hurt. It's not too bad now :D it aches but nothing major :D (Still got the lump too! nothing you can do about that apart from sugery which gets rid of the lump but makes your knee really week for ages heh :D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nohpee° Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I had chondromalacia patella about 2 years ago. that was football induced though. it hurt about 30mins after activity, because of the grateing it swells up and hurts alot mainly after but can hurt whilst doing stuff. it meant I couldn't play for 6 months.I was told if I carried on I might need an operation to remove the flaking. you can sort of see if you have it by laying your leg on the floor(relaxed) so u can move the knee cap around freely, then ummm dunno how to explain this, cup the top of the knee cap(right hand-right knee) ahh bugger it, like this: then LIGHTLY tense you knee so the cap moves upwards and you should feel quite a bit of grateing, im told there is a certain amount in any knee but its blatent in chondromalacia patella sufferers. oh and an open patella knee(big blue things) support helps. im no doctor so don't blame me if you fail to walk afterwards :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
