I'm in agony with my knees once again. Two paracetamol, two ibuprofen and a layer of Deep Heat later and I'm Googling what to do! I have always had this same pain that would happen in one of my knees every couple of months or so but a few years back, I stopped riding as I got carried away with college and friends etc so the knee pain happen rarely. Now that I've been back riding for three years, it's massively worse. When I started again, my knees hurt just dismounting and I was unsure if I would even be able to hold myself up but put this down to lack of muscle. Now I'm fine when I ride, during and straight after. It's only until about 6 hours after when I'm sat down in the evening that it starts.
The pain is like an extreme burning sensation that runs up the backs of my legs and it goes after pain killers thankfully.
I know this is something very common in the horsey world, does anyone else get what I've described? If so, know of any solutions?
