hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some advice. I have had this injury for the last 4 years and its really niggly and on occasion if I push it to hard unbelievably painful.

I do alot of cycling and played hockey for 12 years previously. The inside of my knee is swollen. I went to a physiotherapist and she said I'd torn the ligament slightly and if I cycled and carried out some strengthening exercises I would be fine.

I went to see my local GP and he was quite certain that all I had was a simple imbalance in my inner thigh and outer thigh muscles as cycling has built up the inner muscle and all I needed to do was build up the outer thigh muscle to lift the knee cap up a bit and stop the friction which he said was causing the swelling.

i was just wondering which diagnosis was right, if any of them.

its a long first post but any information would be extremely appreciated, oh yeah, does anyone know of the best knee cold therapy brace? I only found about the RICE method out 2 weeks ago, i'm surprised no one told me aout it, but oh well.

kind regards
alex
