Rescue required

[tony_a]

Been nursing a slightly grumbly knee for a while, but it’s generally been fine if I don’t stray far beyond 10k.

Found myself on a lane in the middle of nowhere today, about the furthest point from home, when it finally gave up. Slight grumble became full on pain, and when I walked for a bit I found I just couldn’t run again.

Rescue call put in and other half drove out to pick me up (with kids in tow). Youngest offered to put me in the recovery position - he learnt first aid at Beavers recently 😀

The good news is I probably needed something like this to push me to get it sorted. Physio booked for next week so hopefully a temporary setback. Should definitely have got it looked at earlier 😀

Sorry to hear this. Do hope your appointment gives encouraging news and lots of appropriate advice.

Thanks. Person I’m going to comes highly recommended so I’m hopeful. I’ve had knee pain before and I can usually run again a few days later but common sense has prevailed. Will keep happening if I don’t get it looked at properly 😀

Good luck with your physio appointment Tony. Expert advice is definitely worth the money. Hope you are soon running again. 🏃‍♂️

Thanks Dexy. Yes should probably have done it sooner.

Good luck with your knee. Yay for Beavers and for rescue teams!

Thanks. So embarrassing having to phone for help, but would have been a long walk home.

The sensible option so you didn't cause extra damage to that precious knee. I know you've got 2 but you (k)need the both!

Good luck with your appointment.

Take it easy and hopefully u'll soon be up to speed again 😁

Thanks. It’s definitely a lesson in getting things looked at early. I know from past experience I can probably still do 5k regularly with no fuss but if I don’t get it looked at I’m not going much further.

Keep us posted. I saw a physio the other week and got the ok... But it's still niggly 🤔

[tony_a Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Will do. Think it’s runners knee but will see what she says.
