How to Cure Cycling Knee Pain with a Miraculous, Cheap Cure

Here’s a post all about how to cure cycling knee pain with an amazingly effective and very cheap cure for cycling knee pain that works for all kinds of knee pain. I learned this cure from a very wise naturopath. Thanks to this cure, I no longer suffer from cycling knee pain. This post also includes advice on how to avoid cycling knee pain.

I have had every kind of cycling knee pain!

I have had every kind of cycling knee pain. I have had the kind of cycling knee pain that nags like an irritating but well intentioned friend, keeping you awake all night, while suggesting that perhaps you are overdoing it and should just be less darn excessive. I have had the kind of cycling knee pain that presents as an agonizing stab of pain, sneaking up on you and attacking you suddenly, causing you to suddenly plummet to the ground as if felled by a lightning bolt. And worst of all, I have had the kind of cycling knee pain that causes you to stop cycling and contemplate the misery of never being able to get on a bicycle again.

Knee pain is the most common injury for all athletes

It’s no wonder that I have had so much cycling knee pain. Among all athletes, knee pain is the most common overuse injury. And among cyclists, knee pain is the most common leg overuse injury. Repetitive stress injuries are common in cyclists, no doubt due to the fact that cycling is just so addictive.

Also, because the movement in cycling is very repetitive – when cycling for an hour, we average up to 5,000 pedal revolutions. Apart from that, high mileage, and the rapid increase in training intensity that many of us cannot resist in early spring, can both lead to cycling knee injuries.

Cycling knee injuries can be caused by ill-fitting bikes and training excesses

As you can see from this table from a medical research report, there are all kinds of cycling knee injuries that can be caused simply by an ill-fitting bike, as well as by training excesses.

So in short, cycling knee injuries pain are so very common that it’s almost impossible to avoid cycling knee pain. However,  nothing will make me quit cycling – not even crippling knee pain. In fact, I remain committed to trying to do ambitious things, like riding charity bike rides, and have just committed to doing next year’s Ride to Conquer Cancer.

I have tried every kind of recommended cure for cycling knee pain

So I have tried every kind of recommended cure for cycling knee pain. I have gone through more expensive tubes of the homeopathic remedy Arnica cream than I care to remember. Therapists have manipulated my knees, causing extreme pain as they tried to remove the accumulated toxins that were, allegedly, causing my cycling knee pain. Other therapists have injected Arnica directly into my knees (NOT as much fun as it sounds), and still others have stuck needles into parts of my body (that are NOT my knees) in an attempt to craftily defeat the cycling knee pain via the ancient wisdom of acupuncture.
