Struggling with knee pain for several weeks
Hi everyone! Im new here in The Bile Fit Academy, and Im very pleased to be here! Ive been suffering pain in the front-inner part of the right knee for some weeks, especially when pushing the pedal down with the foot horizontal and parallel to the ground. If I tilt my foot slightly to push more with the metatarsals, the pain is reduced. When pulling the pedal by exerting force with the hamstrings (round pedalling), there is no discomfort, only when pushing the pedal down. I am attaching videos from various angles (front, back and side) as well as images of the cleat adjustment on my cycling shoes (Shimano RC7). As for my medical history, I have had ACL surgery on my right knee. On the other hand, my left knee tends to swell from time to time, especially the lower area of the kneecap (Hoffa's fat pad). After reviewing several documents on bike fitting and cycling-related injuries, I suspect that it may be a goose foot injury, but I am not 100% certain. I have been doing many strengthening and activation exercises for the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, abductors, adductors, and core prior to cycling sessions to send signals to my body to activate and push the pedal with my glutes and not so much with my quadriceps, as this could be one of my biggest problems, but the discomfort has not yet disappeared. I hope someone in the community can help me solve my knee pain problems! THANKS!!!

Still right rear upper leg pain
Apologies to post again some good advice but just to help here’s a video better showing my issues appreciate any time for any comments. I’ve tried shims ect but to no luck and pretty confident I don’t have a leg length discrepancy doing tests. I still get hamstring back of leg pain tried a lower saddle height but to still no luck. Cleats still rearward around 25mm behind 1st metatarsal to centre of cleat it just doesn’t feel right if I push it more forward say centre of cleat bolt slot

Still right rear upper leg pain
Looking for some input on how this fit looks.
54 year old just getting back into Road cycling after taking 10 plus years off. Was dealing with hypothyroidism. Was misdiagnosed for several years causing me to put on a lot of weight. In the last 7 months I've lost 90 lb because I got back on the bike and adjusted my diet significantly. I am 6 ft tall currently 240 lb. My new bike is a canyon Endurace size medium.
