With the help of Mr Google I have identified my knee pain as coming from my Medial Collateral Ligament. It’s on the inside of my left knee.
It started as a niggle in December and has been slowly getting worse, especially first thing in the morning. Strangely enough it’s not bad when I’m actually running but afterwards the knee has to be strapped.
Time to rest it.
Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do?

Sorry to read this HF. Hopefully a few days’ rest will settle things down but if not then maybe a visit to a physio for a proper diagnosis and recovery plan is the way to go.
I assume you’re wearing the right shoes, etc?
I’ve had knee pain in the past that has stopped me in my tracks but when I started doing strengthening exercises for ALL parts of my glutes the pain disappeared.
I had left inner knee pain a couple of years ago. Dr Google had a completely different opinion to the sports physio I ended up seeing 😬. I hope yours settles.
I've not had that problem but have had various knee issues over the years. Go to your GP and get a proper diagnosis. Even a phone appointment can be really helpful. I was amazed to find that my GP has an onsite physio, you might be lucky too.
The answer to most of our running problems seems to be rest,ice, elevation, compression, painkillers and then some form of targeted exercise to strengthen the relevant muscles. You really need a physio to ensure you do the right ones. All the physios I've seen have been very knowledgeable and I've found them incredibly effective.
