avoid kneeling and minimise direct pressure on to the joint.

Kneeling also bad for sore knees…avoid
indeed , couldnt be helped .When i was painting the picket fence i even sat on a stool . sitting cross legged isnt nice either .
Couldn’t you sit or stand at a table or similar?
i dont have the facilities to do bike maintenance that not basically on the floor .
No work stand?
Hope you don't mind if I jump on this thread but I've started having an issue with my right knee in that I can't seem to do a squat anymore. Also, if I sit for a while, I hobble for a few steps then everything is fine, I can walk for miles after. I even climbed a set of steps up to a castle in Nafplio in Greece last week, 973 up and 973 down again
I can do high cadence spins on the turbo with no ill effect and can ride the bike no problem so have no idea what the problem is. I don't have on-going pain or anything like that.
I am 56 so not in the first flush of youth!
Any advice greatly available
binned the idea of riding at all today
definite swelling last night so took the hard choice which is a pity as its ruddy lovely weather
What has the physio diagnosed? Assume you’re icing? Using anti inflammatory?
Go for a slow gentle ride, cycling doesn’t have to be smashing it up hills, if I didn’t ride when my knees are sore and swollen I’d never ride!
Physio? Orthopaedic surgeon?Today is stage 1; as i've booked in Privately for a full knee assessment and written report of where i need to go from here. Wish me luck !
