I've been having some inner knee pain on my left leg. It has to be from cycling because I haven't really been running for the past monthish. I got fit on my tri bike about a month ago. Moved things around a bit including moving my legs away from the top tube a bit to get my legs moving straight up and down.
It was a slow discomfort that wasn't preventing me from riding at all, but this last week it has gotten worse and hurts just to straighten my leg right now. Actually, it doesnt hurt to straighten my leg but when i straighten it and bend over to stretch, it hurts a lot and I can't bend nearqly as far as usual. It's pretty much the whole inside of my left knee, muscle not bone. It even travels to the back of my leg a bit.
This has seriously hampered the solid training I was building on and hoping to continue through the winter to build a really solid base so I could improve next season. Any ideas what this could be from? Anybody go through something similar? Should I go see a physical therapist?
Thanks for the help!
