I didn't treat it and eventually it went down. From the above link it does appear that there are options to help, although it doesn't look as though there is a miracle cure. Probably wise to do a bit more than I did! Hope you're better soon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16515#post-222638 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 07:25:03 +0000 gembo 222638@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone know of effective way to get rid of this? Also known as housemaid's knee (similar I think to tennis elbow). I tried a crepe bandage which made my leg warm. Ice cube worked at the time of the eruption to keep the swelling down.</p> <p>If I keep cycling I imagine I will just have to get used to it </p>
