    Hi, eight months ago I met with a road accident, and hurt my shoulder and knee. My bike was ruined too. My doctor said I recovered just fine, but the problem is my knee hurts every time I get on my bike. Short distances are still okay, but long distances leaves me in intense pain. I don’t know what to do. I recently read a blog on physiotherapy for Knee injury. ( http://www.physionow.ca/blog/general-category/knee-injury-custom-knee-bracing-physiotherapy-care/ ) Does that really work? I haven’t ever done physiotherapy, so I don’t know much about it. So Please advise! I have heard that if such treatments go wrong, it could intensify the pain. Is that true? Should I try it?

    Depends what sort of knee
    Depends what sort of knee pain. Is it on the front, at the back or on the side (either inside or outside)?

    The following link might give you a step for a hint;

    I’m struggling with ITB syndrome just now, it’s only starting to improve because I bit the bullet and decided to see a sports physio. It’s not cheap but 4 sessions with one might well pay dividends. Try to find one that has experience dealing with cyclists (or who actually is a cyclist).

    As cyclists we’ll think nothing of paying £200 on a set of wheels or £1000+ on a bike but balk at paying a hundred odd quid for something really important like the health of our muscles or tendons. Remember legs that are fucked = no cycling.

    I got myself a complete knee
    I got myself a complete knee replacement 5years ago. Mind you this was a result of a 40 year old football injury that steadily and chronically worsened to a point of no return. Just done 200 miles this week including The Tour de Staveley ( very lumpy ) . Yes, I appreciate that you are not planning anything as drastic as a knee replacement just yet, but you need ( kneed) to get a proper scan/X-ray to ascertain the exact problem. My previous post regarding cleat position is very relevant to your problem.?

    First I would pay a small sum
    First I would pay a small sum (usually 30 or so ) to see a physio and see what they think.

    However if in an accident was this on insurance as this would cover damage ?

    Firstly check out your cleat
    Firstly check out your cleat position this may have to be adjusted due to your knee that has ever so slightly altered physically due to the injury.
