TKR and cycling question
Hello,
I had my right knee replacement last July, right after my 48th birthday.
Brief background:
I ride a Specialized Roubaix road bike and had been riding around 100 miles a week prior to the meniscus injury and surgery that left me bone on bone. I have had bad knees my whole life (patella femoral syndrome and knee pain since I was 13). My kneecap was also a mess and had to be augmented with a "button" during surgery. I'm a woman, if that matters.
Question/Problem:
When I ride, I feel a rubbing/something moving/not feeling normal in my knee. It happens on every rotation and feels extremely uncomfortable and then sore/painful.
Has anyone else had this happen? It's making cycling extremely difficult.
I did have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon regarding this issue and he examined my knee as well as complete x-rays and blood work to eliminate the possibility of infection. He showed me the x-rays and said that everything is fine.
I've been walking and swimming to strengthen my knee, but cycling is my favorite and I miss it.
Sorry for the long post, but would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you.
