Help with knee !!

[deniseinbristol]

I think I have what’s called ‘runners knee’ can anyone give me any tips ?? I have completed c25k and now I like to do a 2 mile jog 3 x a week, should I stop jogging for a while (which worries me that i won’t be able to do it again) should I start walking so I’m still moving or stop until healed ? I’m off today to buy a knee brace I’m just hoping they do them big enough as I am on the large side hence my poor knee !!

Any advice greatly appreciated x x

What specifically is the problem with your knee?

I clicks, it’s not excrutiating pain but I know it’s there if that makes sense, there is swelling to the left of my left knee cap, when I walk it feels like it’s going to come out of socket ! When walking upstairs I get 2 clicks on each step going up

I would go and get it checked out Denise. Knees need to be taken care of.

I'm following your post as I'm experiencing the same type of thing after tring to hard on the w9 r3, ran Monday but now have the same as yourself. I'm resting for a week but have stopped taking the extra strong anti inflamatries those things give you some very very strange dream's.... unless you like to dream about beng towed around a lake by a big fish!!!!

I used to get a horrid knee on walking upstairs but an x-ray revealed nothing and it just seemed to clear up.

You could take a break and see if it gets better.
