Knee injury

Injury to knee , strained medial ligament. Feel so upset as had to stop running due to the pain. Got to W6 R1.

Any tips on recovering and should you start again from W1 or W5 perhaps when knee settles?

All help welcome

So sorry to hear this Kneejerker - it's so frustrating when injuries occur but important to stay positive.

Have you seen a physio or GP for this diagnosis? I have used a Sports Physio for a couple of injuries over the years and although expensive, I think they are worth their weight in gold! They will be able to set you up on a good rehab program to support your return to running.

Both me and my husband have had knee issues - both of us have returned to running, so keep the faith.

"Every setback paves the way for a great comeback!"

Here's hoping you are back out there soon.🙂

Thanks for your help and encouragement. It’s a boost for the old man’s morale.

Will contact health Professionals.

Hope you are free of knee injury and enjoying running.
