Pedal Knee

Hi everyone, I was searching through posts and I didn't see anything but I was wondering if anyone else with the new tacomas have developed pedal knee pain? I've had two cars previously and never had this issue. I've adjusted my seats a few times and nothing seems to be relieving it. I was wondering if someone else had this issue and was able to do something to resolve it, thanks.

 

This actually does not surprise me for some unknown reason . Um maybe you need the seat risers . Good luck .

 

Just purchased seat risers. Ill let ya know when I install if it helps.

 

I get that pain no matter what I’m driving. I guess that’s what happens at the ripe old age of 22

 

this is the best first post ever!

 

Just when I start to think that every Tacoma complaint possible has been posted on this forum, another one always appears.
Might want to search a medical forum as opposed to the Tacoma forum.

 

Actually, I am a doctor so I don't think I need to do that haha. Also, please don't get me wrong, I love the truck, I'm just trying to figure out how to relieve my knee.

 

OP pretty common complaint along with hamstring. Its the lack of support from the seats.

Try folding over a shirt and place it under your leg you have issues with. If this helps or alleviates it all together you found your issue. Ive been crushing cruise control from an injury im getting over and it helps

 

Thanks, I'll give it a try. So would the seat risers do the same thing too?

 

Not sure I'm gonna give them a shot and see what happens with it

 

Well damn, I'm an engineer so I will take a shot at giving a MD medical advice...

Sir, please change the angle of your knee during normal vehicle operation. You can accomplish this by adjusting the seat distance from pedal, seat height or, as a radical procedure, extending your right leg by breaking it and stretching it using halos ove a 10 month period.

You are welcome. I do not honor your insurance so just send me a crisp twenty dollar bill.

Next!

 

If I sneeze when I poop it hurts like hell. Seeking remedies will send crisp 20 for relief

 

Solution:

Don't sneeze while pooping.

 

I got the front seat jackers from Desert Does It, beautifully made and absolutely worth the coin.

It felt like all the weight was just on my butt and heels, my legs would get restless and achy after about an hour and I would be shifting around constantly. There just wasn't enough (any) thigh support coupled with the fact that the seat cushion is fairly short as well.

Note: Some folks raise the rear of the seat, that seems like it would make the problem much worse for me.

Welcome to the forum, lots of folks here are always glad to help you. (spend your money)

 

Thats the seat spacers I purchased. Did you do all four corners ?

 

You are sneezing while you poop the trick is to poop while you sneeze .

 

Life changing tacomaworld moments right here

 

My short ass self uses this seat cushion and it's great. It may look like it's for an 85 year grandmother with hemorrhoids, but I once drove from NY to Colorado, only stopping for gas and coffee on this bad boy. Definitely helps the knees, and you see alot less hood if you're vertically challenged.

 

To be fair, human factors and ergonomics is an engineering specialization, not medical. On the other hand, orthopedists.

Recommendation: evaluate the Tacoma from an ergonomic perspective giving consideration to the consumer's specific measurements. Refer to orthopedist if pain continues.

 

Doctor says I got a backiatomy
