CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
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.
If I keep cycling I imagine I will just have to get used to it
Can definitely recommend NHS Choices for any ailment http://www.nhs.uk/video/pages/housmaids-knee.aspx
I got this once when I slipped and fell right on my kneecap. 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.
I know what the cure is for everything except housemaid's knee, but not housemaid's knee itself:
“1 lb. beefsteak, with
1 pt. bitter beer
every 6 hours.
1 ten-mile walk every morning.
1 bed at 11 sharp every night.
And don’t stuff up your head with things you don’t understand.”
