[RC] Dr. Q - knee pain - Kristi Schaaf

Dr. Q - 

Yes, I'd love to email you about this. Please email
me, as I only read the ridecamp archives so have no
access to your email address.

Hi Kristi--
Lateral knee pain can have a few different causes.
Have you had the LCL diagnosed, or is that a guess?
The reason I ask is that the diagnosis is heavily
dependent on the exact location and nature of the
symptoms. You may have trouble with the IT band, or
maybe even the lateral cartilage of the knee. I would
have the knee evaluated by a really good orthopedist,
and determine what the pain generator is, and then
treatment options become clearer. Shortening the
stirrups without good reason may actually cause more
strain on the knee, not less. Email me privately if I
can help. Dr Q


Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off)
