What Causes Shaking Above The Knees With Severe Pain?

I went on a very long bike ride about 5 hours ago and now I feel very shaky and just above my knees hurts very much, almost too much to walk. It wasn t very hot today so I don t think it could be anything related to heat exhaustion. Although I m not in the greatest shape, I ve never felt this bad after physical activity before. What could this be and what should I do about it?

hi,

thank you for providing me an opportunity to answer your query.

with the symptoms you been mentioning about going for a long drive for about 5 hours and you have pain your knee or say just above the knee.

well, it is clearly related to the excessive throttle of the bike which gave too much vibration to the muscles for contraction of the knee muscles called the quadriceps and hamstring for keeping the joint stable.

it is not a major issue and it happens in few riders as well. but goes off as time passess by. try taking hot water fermentation and relax yourself by keeping the legs elevated.

i wish you recover well and do best in future.

thank you
