I have been having recurring pain for the past 3 months, My last ride was 3 hrs and was pretty sore. Next ride was a few days later an hour that toasted me. I was very weary to get back on the bike again so I took a month off, my hamstrings were sore. Went for an easy ride and felt like garbage. My hamstring and back of knee, calf and sometimes achilles are hurting. Took another month off tried an easy ride and same thing. Hamstring tendons and back of knee pain. It's beyond just lowering seatpost.

Any advice in the north nj area?
 
May not be the knee. But....
Dr. Shindle at Summit Medical Group in Florham Park did meniscus repair on both me and wife.

Dr Mayman at HSS in NYC is who Shindle recommended to wife for total knee replacement. (October 25th)
 
Haven't used them recently, but Tri-county has great docs for all parts. I can only recommend Dr Willis for shoulders, but my friends have highly recommended Dr Hunt from the same practice. Good luck with the recovery

Dr Kissen out of Hackensack. He just did a knee replacement for my wife. She was up and walking the next day. Works with Dr M. Kelly is who the guru dealing with knees. Dr. Kissen specialty is knees.
 
Yeah I stopped in martys and the fitter wasn't in to give me advice on if I should bother to get a bike fit with these issues. I think it's some sort of tendinopathy that just needs way more rest than I have patience for. Should I bother with a fit before a doctor?

I used to mtb but ride road now
