Thread: Knee problem.

I'm sure there're a few experts on here so here goes.

I run every second day usually, 5-10k with a bloody great hill in the middle.

On Thursday night I did a 2.6k run on a treadmill because the weather was shite, I know not far but it was a fast pace and I detest treadmill running, I hadn't run for about 4 days because of a cold. No problems.

Next day I ran to work, just an easy 5k but my shins and calf area felt fatigued and the run felt crap but still <5.00/kms. No injuries felt.

Next day my right knee feels fine but when I sit down and let my lower leg hang and it hurts and when I run it hurts like hell, no pain at all while walking, stair climbing etc. No grinding or clicking, just hurts to run and the odd position makes it hurt.

Never had knee problems before, got a fitness test in 6 weeks so want to get it sorted soon so I don't lose all of my fitness before then. Might jump on the cycle trainer tonight instead of running. Physio tomorrow.

Well that went in the wrong section.

It's kinda like outdoor transport ha ha

Ouch it's a bastard when you get a niggle that stops you training! Physio will sort it!

Yeah let a physio diagnose that rather than one of us experts lol
I'm not a fan of treadmill running, you are forced to run too uniformly which I find unnatural, hope physio can get you sorted quick sounds like nothing too major at least

It's stuffed, cut it off

Simple fix. Stop running. Drink more beer.

Change your running technic, go bare foot style.

stretch more before you run, you are getting older not younger. Step up for calves, exercise every morning on ph books, I do it on the fire surround as it keeps my heel spurs away and also stops shin splints.

Physio, physio, physio. Suspect shin splints. They hurt.

medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) Impact trauma,inflammation . Time to see a sports doctor.

Nah it's up in my thigh more, starting to think it might not be my knee, if I sit on a chair and grab my thigh and take the weight of my leg and shake it it hurts like hell in the mid thigh area.

Can't even make it to physio today as the Mrs is working so I'm babysitting.

only one stumpy allowed on here ,,,

Based on what I've read I'd be inclined to agree as I've suffered the same.
@Savage1 how old are your shoes? I ran for a long time in old shoes which essentially had kaarked (sp) it and I wound up being a walking sick note. Worn shoes lose support (the big hill, especially if it's tarred, will be pounding your legs on the descent) and could also change your running style resulting in excess stresses where there shouldn't be.

Also, you're probably not as young as you used to be so will take longer to bounce back.

stick to pulling a trailer with a tyre in it .... much safer
