Hi,

Recently I've noticed that my knees are slightly bended towards each other. So if i am standing straight and you are facing me, you would notice my legs are not straight.
I believe I started to have this problem after 1,2 months of cycling. I used to run 4, 5 times a week, and didnt really have this problem. I dont have any kind of pain either during or after the training around the knee area or the leg. I am just wondering if there is problem with the way I paddle or its my bike that is not properly set up. Have you guys heard this kind of problem before?

Thanks.

I can't say I've experienced your problem but it sounds to me like something you should talk to your doctor about, could be nothing or it could be something serious.

Off the cuff I would say it could be two possible things, either you leg muscles are developing unevenly due to the new exercise and the new musculature just makes it look like your legs are bent. Or also possible your muscles and tendons are tightening due to the new workouts and are actually pulling your legs our of shape. Either way, if it were me, I'd ask a doctor.

have you ever had xrays? you may have some thinning of your cartilage in your knees that are causing them to drift down into a valgus (knock kneed) deformity...may want to get it checked out...

depends on where you live...depends on what state I mean...some states have whats called direct access which will allow you to go see a physical therapist without a referall from a doctor...may want to go see a physician to see what your xrays look like...how old are you? any other questions send me a PM...
