where does it hurt?
the knee is a weak link in the whole leg area and a problem somewhere else can lead to knee pain (but not always)
i’m a runner (well i try to be) and my common knee complaints are…
outside of my knee toward the top = tight IT band, in particular toward the top where the IT band curves around one’s hip (not too common in cyclists)
back of the knee /leg toward the bottom = tight hamstrings. quite common for cyclists(!)
if you bro stands upright and crosses his legs, then bends with his back and legs straight, how far toward the ground can he get?
there is another common on on the inside, but i can’t remember that one ….sorry.
