Hsiao, a 35-year-old Taiwanese cyclist, thought he was doing everything right. He rode at least three days a week, covering dozens of miles per session, and tackled a monthly 60-mile round trip from Yuanlin to Yushan. Yet several months ago, knee pain crept in, and rest didn’t help.
Yen Ta Chin, an orthopedic attending physician at Yuan Rung Hospital in Taiwan, shared the case with The Epoch Times, noting that Hsiao was diagnosed with pes anserine bursitis—inflammation of the three tendons on the inner side of the knee—and severe osteoporosis.
