I just wondered if anyone else finds running easier if they strap their knee up. I have psoriatic arthritis and whilst it doesn't affect my knees, one knee has been a little clicky. I ran today with a normal tubi-grip on it and it felt so much better. I have seen these on Amazon and wondered what people's thoughts were as they seem pretty well received:
I would check with your physio, they will know the best advice for your knee. I hope its just a little niggle and it gets sorted out really easy. sometimes we get little niggles as the muscles build up. take care
I have a troublesome knee, mostly an old injury and a bit of arthritis and I get clicking, grinding and popping of the kneecap. I just bought some new shoes and a lightweight knee support which I actually found in Aldi for £2.99. I really like the feel if it, my knee felt warm and supported and I ended my run with no knee pain at all which was a joy as I've been having a lot of trouble of late. Agree, see what the physio says but I would think wearing a support during runs can't actually do any harm.
Good old Aldi, they carry some amazing value stuff which you can try without spending a fortune. Hope you got the right size, it's been very helpful to me.
go on ebay for strap and braces i had a lot of runners knee at the the start but check with doc s first i have a patella strip thing it goes round the bottom of the knee
