You must be so frustrated Its such a fine line of giving your body the rest and just having wee run to see if knee is ok Wish you well

You are doing the right thing taking time off running. I had a knee problem around week 2 - but I pushed it and went for a run after I already felt the twinge then needed around 2.5 weeks off! I just had another knee problem but I was much more careful this time and it took just over a week to heal. Before it healed it felt fine walking but when I'd jog I could feel it so I still didn't run. It will heal and you'll probably be fine when you go back out - I'm on week 8 and was able to jump right back in yesterday after 2 weeks off. In fact felt a bit easier!!
