I am a 27 yr old female.
When I was a teenager I had an athroscapy on my right knee, it meant that after several months of inactivity my muscle had withered and I underwent physio to build it up again. However, it formed differently to my left leg- mainly with a larger vastus medialis. (Inner quad). It never bothered me too much but after doing a season of snowboarding, a few months ago my right quad has developed even more (as I use 60/70% more weight on the back leg while riding). I have tried to do some weight training and exercises on my left leg to build up the inner quad so they are even, but all that happens is toning. What can I do to fix this? It's kind of driving me nuts!- its also uncomfortable when I wear my jeans etc!
Is it better to try to build up my left leg- if so, how?
or to undertake exercise without weight training to reduce the muscle mass in my right leg?
Hope you can help!
