Wk 2 Run 2 - Pain in the inside of my knee.

I am so annoyed with myself. I was doing my second run of week two and decided that i would have a change of scenery and ran the opposite direction on one of my routes. Didnt think it through very well, as realised on my last run that i would be running up hill. Only done about one minute and felt a twinge.

I have experienced very tight and painful calves (like the majority) and still have alot of pain walking between my shin and foot but then i felt pain in my left knee and had to walk (limp) home. Oh dear .....now im in pain and im hobbling.

I can press and feel the pain like you would a bruise and it actually only really hurts when i put weight on it but wondered if any one out there would have an idea what i have actually done? It is just below my knee cap, towards the inside of my leg and the pain is on the bone.

Hopefully its just a matter of resting it for a few days and then back to it.

Anyone experienced similar?

Firstly, this very thing happened to me. I'd been running the same route for weeks and had no problems at all apart from the boredom of the route. I reversed which meant running downhill more. I was in agony and decided never to do that again.

With regard to your pain, you definately need to rest for recovery. Good luck

rest, ice on it twice a day for 3 days and ibroprofen (regularly e.g 3 times a day for 3 days) til i stops hurting.
