Bizarre pains in the knee for no apparent reason.
Went to see the osteopath when this didn't get better after a week. She said it was lactic acid build up in my upper leg muscles that was pulling on the knee and making it sit in a bad position (i think) and sure enough rubbing said muscles to relax them made the problem go away for the rest of the day. I'm going to wear orthotics constantly from now on, we think it was the thongs that triggered it to start with, and then it was exacerbated by the long/hard bike ride that next weekend. I found I can put my orthotics in my bike shoes too (just) so that should help in the future as well... My osteopath also suggested i do exercises to strengthen the muscles around my knee.
edit jan08:
well thongs obviously don't cause this cause just walked around brasil in them for 3 weeks...
similar problem has struck making my knees, now they feel like they are about to pop out forwards, might be related to a strength exercise im doing in the gym...
