My knees hurt

[NorthWallsBoo]

I'm due a 30 minute run today, and feeling good except my knees are quite creaky and stiff (possibly weather-related).

What are the community's thoughts on running on painkillers (Solpadol)? I have hypermobility issues and get a lot of joint pain so have a prescription.

Hello, I understand about hypermobilty as my daughter has hypermobility syndrome.

If you are in pain from running and you take your medication then run I think it could make you feel worse .

Or you could have a few days rest and see how you feel.

Only my opinion. Good luck 😊

Thanks Buddy34, I don't think the pain is from running, I haven't been out for a couple of days and even then I took it gently. Only recently graduated C25K so I'm worried about taking time off running before I've properly consolidated, but obviously don't want to hurt myself. I might try a gently jog without the meds and see how I feel.

Pain is there for a reason, making the pain won't make the underlying issue go. Rest up for a bit then try again. Good luck 🤗
