What sort of pain is it and where on the knee are you getting it?

yes the pain is on the knee cap, no ligiment damage or cartlige. Drove back from St Andrews in 1998, 1 stop @ swindon for fuel. Next day couldnt get up.

C+ did a good couple of articles on knees and their potential injuries,
here for Pt 1 and here for Pt 2.

I am not saying this will sort it all out but should give you some understanding of the complexities of the joint .

Wish I had read it 30+ years ago - could have saved a lot of hassle

I would find some excersizes to help maintain correct muscle balance in your legs, as if you saddle is too low, you can end up over tightening the IT band (outside of your thigh) which will pull the kneecap slightly out of alignment causing inflamation. Find stretches on the internet (ITBS stretches - ITBS means IT Band Syndrome, where IT is the name of the muscle which i cannot remember) and strengthen in the inside of your thigh.
