Frustration Resolution

I've struggled for about 9 months with a knee problem had physio and restarted training only to break down. I consulted a GP at my doctors, and she advised me to run on a treadmill, that made it worse.

So I went back to the doctors saw another GP who referred me to have a scan, didn't get a scan but a full examination of the knee that determined I have deep tissue damage and need a more specialised physio for these types of injuries hopefully I should be able to restart after Christmas 🀞

πŸ‘Glad you have a good diagnosis & having physio! Lots of time to read up Running Site and get ahead of the game once you are back. Hope the recovery goes well Paul 🍫

You'll be starting out as weather improves /days brighten rather than those trying to move from daylight to night running. Just trying to put a positive spin on things for you. Keep up the physio and don't try to rush recovery (says the person who listens to none of this advice herself)

I am in a similar situation.........just waiting for a detailed examination.

Stay positive.

Hope the new treatment does the job and you can be back running before too long.

Hi Paul, I'm sure u feel frustrated coz I did when my knees played up for just 2 weeks. Maybe the NHS can get u some knee supports for when u start back running? Here in France, the GP gives u a prescription for them. Good luck with the treatment.
