John,
I was searching the OBRA chat messages and coame across this old post of
yours from a few years ago. I recently developed the same sounding
symptoms and am curious what you found out or what happened with yuor
kneee.
Thanks for any help you have
Scott

Towards the end of a long, hilly ride last Saturday, I noticed some
slight pain in the outer knee area. I rode through it and didn't give it
much thought.
At PIR Tuesday, about halfway through, it flared up again and was worse.
I finished the race and drove home. When I got out of my car my knee had
stiffened up and was giving a sharp pain.
The pain is in the left knee, below (not underneath) the kneecap towards
the outside of the knee joint. It is a sharp pain that varies in
intensity, keeping it moving (as opposed to immobilized) seems to help.
I'm not sure if taking it easy will heal this, if anyone has had a
similar injury or knowledge of this, I would like to hear from you. The
sharpness of the pain has me worried, not a typical dull pain like
tendonitis.
Should I see a doctor right away, or wait to see if rest takes care of
it?
Thanks,
John Henry
