Back in the summer I fell off my mountain bike and smacked the inside of my knee on the top tube, I guess I bruised the bone and it has been sore ever since. It’s pretty boney in there, which is sore to touch. I have rested it, iced it, massaged it, antiflamed it, stretched it just about everything I can think of. It doesn’t appear to be a tracking problem, the actual knee and kneecap seem to be running freely, just stiff and sore on the inside of the knee when straightening. Any ideas?

The injury appears to be either the medial ligament or to the adductor tendon where it wraps around the medial tibial plateau. Both these injuries can be very slow to heal. Incidentally, I wiped out on by mountain bike on the weekend and suffered the very same blow to the side of the knee!
Treatment is as follows:
