I NEED DATA!
There is no such thing as too much data!
Is there pain at rest? Is pain aching/sharp/intermittent/constant?
Not really. There's a faint ache, tho it's now 28+ hours since I stopped pedalling.
What provokes the pain? Stairs/pedalling/walking etc
Standing up is the main one. Stairs are the worst. Pedaling I don't really feel it.
Where do you feel the pain? Joint line - inner/outer/behind knee cap/behind knee etc
Pain is bilateral, alas I only have 2 arms, so couldn't point at both knees and also take the photo.
When and how did pain start?
Well most recently I felt it after doing the hardest 200 I've done, including slogging for 35+km into a force 4 headwind that was coming in straight on the front. Prior to that I had done the fastest 100km of my life (yay for a Peloton + tailwind). I was pushing it quite hard.
Previously I felt it on a 250km night ride, where I spent a long time slogging into a headwind and even had hills to contend...
And prior to that I felt it after doing 325km in 24 hours (300km ride + there and back). Which was also my fastest 300 (17:14 total time)...
I don't feel it on shorter rides,
Internet opinions can be useless; this is more likely when there's insufficient information...
Is there any other info that would be useful to help diagnosis? Would be considered by many an oversharer on these things if it helps.
Oh, and you can see the ride data at:
