Thursday I woke to discover a large, fluid swelling just below my right knee. Today I was diagnosed with acute pre-patellar bursitis (see here for details). If I don't use the joint for kneeling or heavy cycling, it should go away in a few weeks, but it's possible that it could become a chronic condition if I continue to irritate it. So that's basically the end of the cycling season for now. I'm hoping, however, that the bursitis came about from kneeling to do work for an art school project, rather than cycling, because I really don't want to give up riding. Only time will tell, though.
