Knees update....

So 2 weeks ago tomorrow, I got agonising k de pain at the end of my W1R3 and posted on here. I tried all the RICE stuff and no better.

Went to my Doctors on Tuesday who suspects the running finally displaced the last remaining bits of cartilage I had left hence the agonising pain now (bone on bone scraping - both knees. Yayyyy me! 😤).

I have a MRI booked for next Friday and then we will decide the way forward. Absolutely gutted as was enjoying running and was supposed to be doing a charity 5K on 20 July.

Good luck all !

oh no, that's very upsetting for you. Do you think they'll do an arthoscopy to remove the cartilage? If so what would the waiting list be like... it is a minor op, and recovery is quick... although July 5K might be a bit optimistic.

Wishing you a simple and quick solution, and hopefully a return to running in due course.

So sorry for this news.
