Default Knee Pain ...again

I have been riding about ten miles a day for the last three years. I
have not changed the setup on my bike for the last two years, and have
had no problems until recently. Several times just before I get up in
the morning (while still laying down in bed) the back of my left knee
starts to really hurt. The pain is not in or just behind the kneecap. It
seems to be just below the skin in the hollow of the rear part of the knee.

It almost seems like a spasm but feels somewhat different, and drinking
quinine water does not seem to help.

Any ideas about what is going on would be appreciated.

TIA,
Ernie

your shoe heels are worn. take a look.

cut cardboard and insert these lifts at heels

pushes pelvis froward, allows relief to the popliteal

check- exrx.whatever- website for excercises to ease this out

Try riding in a higher gear.I nearly tore my kneecaps off riding in 1st
after I reached 50.I'd also see a doctor if the pain continues.It only
took me one visit and a perscription to relieve a problem that had been
ongoing for a year os so.
