Out of action

Been out of action for over two weeks now! Going a bit stir crazy got to wait til 19th for MRI scan and I'm really worried that I'm going to lose motivation as time goes on. Anyone else suffered badly damaged knee that has resulted in long term rehab? Any ideas to keep motivated greatly received.

I'm sorry to hear this, and hope that the MRI goes well. Have you thought about doing something like swimming, which is great excercise, will keep you fit as you wait to find out what is going on with your knee, and best of all is kind to your joints?

Another exercise you may want to consider is Pilates because it will help strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee, meaning that when you can get back to running, it should help support your knee as it recovers?
