All a board the injury couch .

The running journey has come to a grinding stop, no running this week , Right Knee pain under load and discomfort when walking, not good no real improvement so far this week, docs on Monday, done the RICE thing and voltarol to no avail. .. make room on that Injury couch could be there for a while ,

bugger or what eh ... still optimistic it will improve

[Hidden in reply to pot58]

Thanks pot a rest may not be such a bad thing ( for a short time I hope)

[Toonlou24 Graduate]

On no. Sorry to hear that not so slow Rob. Bit of rest for a few days hopefully you will be ok. Just be careful. Don't risk it if still in pain.

[Hidden in reply to Toonlou24]

Thanks Toon as tempting as going running is not doing it until doc and or physio say so

[Lovefood1984 Graduate]

Oh no, not another one for the IC! Hope the docs can sort whatever it is out ASAP so you're not out of action too long!

[Hidden in reply to Lovefood1984]

[Madge50 Graduate]

[Hidden in reply to Madge50]

thanks Madge, luckily I know the doc I am seeing is a runner

[poppypug Graduate]

Oh no Rob ! What a blow for you xxx

Oh , I hope you get a running friendly doctor. If not, you could always go see a physio.

Being injured is the flippin' pits BUT just remember you will overcome it . You can be fixed . Its just a question of rest, time and patience.

Best wishes Rob , I am really gutted for you, hope you feel better soon xxx

[AndyD Graduate]

Noooooooo..... Rob, what have you been up to?? Soooo sorry to hear that you are on the IC. Get all the help and advice you can and get back out there as soon as you can.

[Hidden in reply to AndyD]

Thanks Andy. no idea what or when it happened , it started to play up a week ago last Friday, It didn't stop me running at parkrun last sat, which in hindsight maybe shouldn't have. Decided not to run and rest it etc this week and make doc apmt , will see how it feels on Monday , although no real improvement so far .

Hope your running is going well Andy

[AndyD Graduate in reply to Hidden]

This is probably the first time that you have been on the IC since you started... so must be a bit of a shocker to your new lifestyle... think I would get a bit stressed about it!! My running is fine... taking my new shoes out for another spin later on a long-ish run.

Take care

[Hidden in reply to AndyD]

so far it isnt to bad, if it goes on longer it will be !

enjoy your run Andy

[Baileyb Graduate]

I'm still on ic as well. Right knee improving steadily but now my left outer thigh muscle is screaming where it's been compensating for the initial injury. So I think I will be here for a while. Everything throbbing at the mo so it's painkillers and patience, I therefore empathise and sympathise with you. So which of us is bringing the popcorn it could be a while.

[Buffy007 Graduate]

Didn't know you were on the IC - what a blow - glad you're making progress now and feel a bit more optimistic. I haven't run for 2 weeks (sloth) and then went out this week and got a PB, so there's hope for you yet - I'm sure that couch won't win you back.

[Hidden in reply to Buffy007]

Thanks Buffy it is has been really frustrating but yup now hopefully we know what the problem is , Houston we can fix it we are slowly on the way back ..

Well done on that PB
