[RC] Dr. Q - knee pain - Kristi SchaafDr. Q - Yes, I'd love to email you about this. Please email me, as I only read the ridecamp archives so have no access to your email address. Kristi ___________________________ Hi Kristi-- Lateral knee pain can have a few different causes. Have you had the LCL diagnosed, or is that a guess? The reason I ask is that the diagnosis is heavily dependent on the exact location and nature of the symptoms. You may have trouble with the IT band, or maybe even the lateral cartilage of the knee. I would have the knee evaluated by a really good orthopedist, and determine what the pain generator is, and then treatment options become clearer. Shortening the stirrups without good reason may actually cause more strain on the knee, not less. Email me privately if I can help. Dr Q Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Check out the hottest 2008 models today at Yahoo!
