Literally. My knee was sore yesterday after Saturday's parkrun but nothing major and I had a very lazy day. Towards evening the pain got worse though, very sore and the pain is in a new place. Getting up and down the stairs is no fun and I didn’t feel up to walking the kids to school today😬 couldn't get through to docs so will take it easy again today and try again tomorrow if not improved. Boo, I was looking forward to trying to increase the length of my runs.

Oh no! You’re doing the right thing by resting and taking it easy. Hope you get to see the gp soon if there’s no improvement

Ice ice and more ice
It really helps I am a niggly knee expert
Thanks, I don't tend to get the ice out soon enough. I am today though. Even dug out an old tubigrip but that seemed to make it worse.

Hope you're back on your feet soon. Once you get, try the exercises on the strength and flex forum, or the knee exercises on the NHS website. 👍

Sorry to read this. You mentioned your IT band in a previous post - are you stretching and using a foam roller? I have IT band issues and although I don't roll my actual IT band, I do find that rolling my quads helps. Just a thought. Hope your back up and running soon.🤞🙂
