Moisture in the knee and cycling
-
Complaint with cyclists Many cyclists sometimes suffer from knee pain or fluid in the knee. These complaints can have many different causes (see above). If you know the cause, there are often simple solutions that make cycling pain-free. Knee fluid and knee pain are often from acute injuries and degenerative diseases of the cartilage. However, damage to the cartilage itself often causes pain but can lead to chronic damage. Wear of the protective layer of cartilage in the joints, but also mechanical force can cause damage to the cartilage. These usually go unnoticed for a long time because the cartilage layer itself is insensitive to pain. Pain is caused by the inflammatory processes and the consequences of cartilage damage. Inflammation can affect surrounding tissue, causing a warm knee, swelling and redness of the knee. In addition, knee pain while cycling can be the result of incorrect and excessive load. This leads to irritation or inflammation of the tendons
