Good to know the cause !

Taking it easy on the commute having been off the bike for 3 weeks as my left knee still sore.

Ah - I whacked my elbow a few months ago and wondered why it was still aching!

Well i have finally turned a corner with the pain , i dont know if its related but i have changed my workout routine for me legs to different exercises and they seem to be helping .
I used to do hamstring curls using a resistance band tied in a belt but i have read that i was doing nothing to activate the glutes so switched back to single leg glute bridges which still work the hamstrings but also the "butt " and sissy sqauts where my knees go over my toes .
I have also been taking the usual supplements like cod liver oil etc but added in collagen and creatine .

Have you tried Turmeric. Mrs W GP said he used it and when I tried it my arthritic wrist pain has gone.
However there is no evidence that taking collagen as a supplement has any effect. There’s a number of studies looking at rock climbers using it to improve tendon strength and repair which have negligible results.

Update
Last few days the pain has cleared up , i still have niggles and aches but that is a different part of the joint and to be expected given my age , activities and job . I just hope we have finally come out of the constant pain and stress of tyring to recover and not getting anywhere .
Dont know what has changed as it has gone from hurting to not hurting in the space of a week , i have added single leg deadlifts to work the hamstrings rather than glute bridges or hamstring curls and i did have a week off any weight training etc when we had a load of overtime .
