Thanks ROT1
i have been through all that and did help. What is left is knee pain from the previous damage and becomes tender when miles pile up sometimes.
I liked the details the the last poster went through when did PBP.[/QUOTE]
Ok. For me it took a long time for pain from the injury to subside. I twisted my knee badly while mtn biking in about 2005 and had trouble riding long distances for years. I use turmeric and black pepper capsules as an effective natural anti-inflammatory when my knee starts to bother me and ibuprofen if it gets bad. When it really flared up on my first attempt at a 550km I had to bail around 490km.
