Well after two surgerical procedures on my left knee. My right one I think has joined in. Two week ago I was cycling and felt a pop under patella and a sharp pain and then quite sore for the rest of my ride and then an ache. And now it's a constant sharp pain.

I'm currently under orthopaedics for suspected shoulder impingement. Do I wait till I get a diagnosis on my shoulder before hassling my Gp about my right knee.

Nope, could be another symptom of a larger problem. Plus there's waiting lists so you want to be in as early as possible.

Really did feel like a big pop. No swelling though. And it was creasing yesterday after being on the motorbike. Pain on weight bearing, a dull ache none weight bearing.

Today just a mild ache.

Waiting list wasn't too bad last time i went. Seen beginning of October, MRI scan three days later, back to see the consultant end of october. Booked in for op 21st December. They aren't allowed to go over the 8 week limit from Consultation to treatment. But it only did because he wanted to do the knee himself as opposed to his Reg and was second on the list after a total Hip replacement. Thumbs Up

you cycle with knee issues?

You know that cycling has a strong correlation to knee problems?

Not if fitted correctly.

I abandoned running aged 23 cause my right knee is royally fubared, yet I cycle 4,000 miles a year in no pain.

True, but even if fitted correctly long term cycling can cause issues.

From OPs other post, I don't think he has a fitted and set up cycle.

So can running, swimming or any other form of exercise. One thing that's much worse than that though - no exercise.

The muscle groups used for cycling are particularly bad for knees, and also very bad for flexibility in the legs.

In fact, one of the safest forms of exercise is swimming (so long as you don't drown that is).

All I am saying is that if I had required multiple knee operations, cycling and running wouldn't be my choices of exercise.

Sounds like you've read/heard a bit too much from the 'fitness expert' community and not enough from the medical community.

My physio & doc after my knee operation specifically recommended cycling. Running was a discouraged, swimming was ineffective at building enough muscle in the right places.

My point still stands though - even the running was recommended over sitting on my arse.

Get to doc and get it seen to.

I have had 3 operations in 3 years on cartilages on both knees.

Advised by 2 specialists and physio to stop running and take up cycling.

I take cod liver oil and Glucosamine tabs. No issues at all.

Cycling was a god send in my recovery for my left knee. Had a bike fit which recommended new handlebars and slightly shorter stem. And moved the seat back. The knee popped as I was spinning up a hill. So I shortened the ride and iced it.

Hurts getting on and off motorbike also.

Go to GP for a referral.

(You might be able to get one over the phone rather than having to go in for an appointment. ask receptionist for a call back. GP will obviously be able to see from your notes your previous problems so may just write the referral letter to collect)


Do all you can to speed up the process, they have the 18 week consultant-led treatment guideline and depending on the part of the body that's wrong it can be as quick as 1 week or the full 18.

Any physio can work on both the problems as well rather than just the one, saving you appointments and hassle
