Will Arnold Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 doctor arnolds hypothesis..... theyre a bit f**ked, not f**ked, just a bit f**ked.... drink lots of water, eat lots of oily fish(dont get tempted to slap anyone with them :)) just eat em, lol, maybe try to build up the muscles around your knees? powerball seems to work for shit wrists, maybe do some exercises for bad knees? right, back to work..... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Same shit with me. Welcome to Cod-liver-oilsville. I've got these ones that are in little capsules, so you don't have to taste the fishy oily mankiness, but get all the goodness.

Mark W Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 They do seem to. Just to check - with your knees, do they just feel 'tight', almost? Sorta not really stiff, but not really free moving, and kinda achey when you bend them loads after, say, sitting down? Anyway, yeah, they seem to be helping :( I'm using the Somerfield High Dose "1 a day" capsules which seem to be pretty hardcore. £1.98 for a months worth, which ain't bad...

Brian Bleech Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 mine have been f**ked for years - can hurt like a bitch when climbing stairs and stuff. Don't notice it when riding though. Yeah bit of cod liver oil helps out though - get capsules not liquid :( mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 ive had knee surgery on my right to stop torn carteledge(sp) locking my knee, it could be the cause of your clicking, go to the doctors and ask for an MRI scan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swize Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 My knees are so bad! I used to play loads of rugby and one day they started aching so i stopped for 2-3 months and a lump of swelling appeared under neath my left nee cap hurts like F**K espicaly when you tap it on something; doc sed ill grow out of it though . The only thing that made mine a little better was to get over it and carry on now it only hurts if i bang it . Suppose that was useless though :( .

Sam ← Skater here has it, it's just where a lump forms from repeated knocks, kinda like how you get lumpy shin bones after pedal slaps? It does just grow out eventually, so it'll heal in time B) Another one here with totaly nackered knees or atleast they feel messed!

I will go to the doctors soon but hate the thought of if i need an op il be off the bike for a while! ← I was talking to someone on here about it. They said they had a similar thing and it was just fluid behind the kneecap, and they just had it drained via syringe. Eithe way, I'm bitching out of going to the doctors just 'cos I don't want surgery either :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSH Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I can quite honestly say ive got the worst knees going ive got a bit of everthing including "MISH MASH" Where the bone has grinded away n ive got like a pouch ov skin and grinded bone in my knee :) How ever there is a solution Cod liver Oil is shit u get all the oils you need from crisps and chips ! What you need are glucosomine tablets with chondrion i think thats how you spell it. Basically its a natural thing thats encourages liquids to your knees so give them a boost take the 1000 mg tablets and wait 3 months n then all is done !

Lawnmowerman Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I've got torn ligaments in my left knee and its shit. I havent done anything in 3 weeks now and im starting to get realllllly bored. And it hasnt really got any better either :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I have some problems with my knees, they only get bad when i dont ride very often though. Now that its the summer holidays and i ride nearly everyday they dont hurt as much, maybe ive built their strength up again or something. I get an achy pain under my kneecaps when i kneel down or climb stairs but it goes away by the next day (goes away overnight). I only seem to strain my knees from riding long distances to get to a spot, not trials riding itself. My mum works in a chemist though so im going to try cod liver oil to keep my knee joints as healthy as possible, i try to drink a lot of water anyway.
