Strange bilateral inner knee pain only when standing

You say that its fine when you are running or cycling, do the shoes that you wear during these activities differ significantly from those used when the pain comes on?
Have you ever been prescribed orthotics or told that you over-pronate?

It's not uncommon for these insertional tendinopathies to "ease off" for a period once you get moving, but if the exercise pushes the muscle to fatigue I'd suspect it starts getting sore again.

Also agree with violablue. You won't get far working on the site of pain. Taping across the distal muscle belly, not unlike you would do for a medial patella glide with PFP taping, can have some good short term effect in inhibiting the muscle, but I'd be working the medial thigh muscles to unload the tendon. Not sure if you can get the roller in there?

Good luck.

Hi thanks for your reply. I have been told that i overpronate actually and i did once try orthotics but they made the problem a lot worse.

The shoe i wear for running and ccling arent significantly different.

Once thisn i have also noticed is that when the pain comes on i find myself rubbing the very top of my medial shin as this has some mild pain too

many thanks again

I just ask because a lot of these trainers offer good arch support and it sounds as though standing in a trainer is not as painful as standing in regular shoes. Where the orthotics that you used cut to suit you or were they over-the-counter ones? Sorry for all the questions .......
