Swollen knee

[Pebbles64]

I graduated last June & have continued running 2/3 times a week. I was ill for few weeks but started back again 2 weeks ago & have done several runs with no probs, ran yesterday - no probs. Have woken up this morning with hot swollen knee, I’ve been icing & resting it all day but it’s worse - It looks like I have an additional knee! What has happened? What should I do? I really don’t want to take another break in running. Any advice most welcome x

Contact your GP and they might send you to get it x-rayed..

Rest, ice, contact GP. Don't run on it.

Any leg pain with hot red swelling should be checked out by your GP to rule out deep vein thrombosis. Sorry, not trying to scare you!

Never thought of that! But it is a bit better today not so red & hot, so I’ll see how I am tomorrow & call doc if need be. Thank u
