I'm having my knee x -rayed as it's still going stiff after a run. It's not getting worse though, I couldn't even run 2 months ago and was limping about. All down to a quad strain (I'm hoping). Although the doc said it could be cartilage wearing down and reminded me of my age, hmm! (I'm 40 something)!

Anyway, my main worry was, 'Can I still run??? 'Yes, was the answer.'

I sighed with relief, then after thought I really have been bitten by the running bug!!

:D

Bad doctor, mine asks me if I'm still running and when I say "Yes" his comment is "Well done you". Have you got a date yet for the x-ray? Also have you tried doing some good running stretches after your runs? Hope all goes well for you.

Oh I think he was being diplomatic! No I just go along to the clinic and they do it there and then. Yes am foam rolling, strengthening and stretching,also having two rest days. I'll graduate yet!!
