Inflamed knees and coffee (!) 2-Apr-2015 At 9:34:24 AM Sabu

In that case you might find some of your muscles are quite strong while others are weaker which results in your knees being pulled in a bad direction (e.g. inward). I cycled for years so my quads were fairly strong but I had issues when I switched to running as the muscles supporting my ITB weren't great. You might find exercises for improving your hip abductors useful (disclaimer: I'm no physio, so don't trust the accuracy of my anecdotal evidence!).

My wife also has knee issues(patellofemoral pain in addition to a recently dislocated kneecap), her physio gave her squats, lunges and wall sits to do to improve strength.

As for the coffee it may be a case of correlation not equalling causation!
