I was out doing a run two weeks ago and had a fall - hurt my knee bad graze which has now finally cleared up but I cant put any weight on my knee when I kneel in fact the pain is excruciating - I went out back for a run this morning and knee felt fine whilst moving and I have no pain when walking or standing just when I weight bear - any ideas to what I could have done would be great thanks

Knee injury advice please
Have you been to your gp? If not I'd go asap or if you have a local minor injuries unit. It needs proper examination to rule out any significant injury. Sorry to hear about it hope you are okay
There are so many parts (muscle, ligament, soft tissue, bone, cartilage) I really would go to see someone. Either your GP, minor injurys unit as totalbeginner suggests or a Physio. Get it checked out and hope it's better soon. Let us know how you do. x
I had a fall last summer, unrelated to running I just fell over my trousers ;-). Anyway a ,painfull knee that lasted much longer than the cuts and bruises was eventually diagnosed as iliotibular syndrome (or something like that). Apparently more common amongst runners, I had managed to push my knee cap and other internal knee bits on to the knee bit of the ligament/muscle/thing that runs from the knee to the hip and damaged it. The pain in my knee and hip was really extreme. So although I had a simple fall, I had developed something far more long running, so although it probably isn't the same as my diagnosis I would take a trip to your GP just to be on the safe side. I also once chipped my knee cap in a simple fall - as you can see I'm not really good at the standing up bit of moving around.
