thanks for the thread on knee pain

[Pat]

I have been getting some pain under my right kneecap since getting my little
Evox 120. I was thinking the worst until I read the thread on knee pain and
recumbents. BTW, though, has anyone had any experience with knee soreness
when the barometric pressure goes down AND getting a cortisone shot in the
knee? I never used to have any pain there until I got Ileotibial band
syndrome and the subsequent cortisone shot. Now, the ITB pain is gone but my
knee aches when the weather changes!

For that particular problem, you might want a referal to a physical
therapist with sports med experience, or perhaps to a good trainer.
Stretches and strengthening exercises might help.

weather changes??? I bought an expensive pair of gloves to use when
biking in the cold about a month ago and I still have not used them. It
is 3 Dec in the Netherlands and a light jacket is sufficient.

In Texas, we have cold fronts called "Blue Northers" that come whistling
down from the Rocky Mountains, across the plains of West Texas and through
our bones (or so it seems). :P

These cold fronts bring freezing temperatures and gusting winds.

Pain and pressure changes is an interesting topic with lots of people
reporting increases in pain with decreases in barometric pressure. However,
there have been a few controlled studies that looked at this phenomeon and
found no relationship...go figure... if my mom says its going to storm when
her knees hurt, I just grab an umbrella!

So are you bragging....or complaining?

.....where is it currently 24°F (-4°C), and requires MORE than a light jacket.
