Pain again

I was supposed to run today but have had to cancel as I’ve had a shooting pain in my knee since yesterday afternoon. I last ran on Sunday. I was fine until these pains started and I’m fine in between the shooting pains.

I’m wondering if I have a trapped nerve or something? Any ideas? Anyway resting tonight and hopefully will run tomorrow.

Thanks, I’m hoping it goes as suddenly as it came on.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Maybe a good idea to get it checked out by the GP? Pain never a good thing

Shooting pain in a knee is never a good sign. Elevate your leg, put some ice on it and rest up. Don’t run through pain. If pain persists go and see a specialist, that’s a physio or an osteopath. You need someone who knows what they are doing.

I’m resting, definitely won’t be running because worried my leg will give way when the pain comes. Will see how it is in the morning and do gentle stretches for now.

Try not to stretch, you don’t know what happened inside. Simply rest up. On the plus side, whatever happened it’s all fixable. If they managed to fix my knee, I’m positive for everyone else. Take care!
