The swelling I get on my injured left knee is bottom right of the kneecap if I’m looking at it from above - the inner front side of the leg. It’s a permanent ancient injury. I’ve run with an elasticated bandage for two years, but after my experience of Oxford half, I think the bandage has made it swell more. I’ve been doing shorter runs with it unstrapped, but I’m getting some pain from time to time. What configuration of tape do I need? I shall put this on the Facebook page too.
Basically, from what I understand, you stretch a long piece vertically over the area with no tension and put shorter pieces across with tension, idea being that the skin is lifted. My shin is very taped up at the minute! Not sure I believe it but the pain totally went so 🤷🏽♀️
Definitely worth trying something different. I didn't have any support for my knee today and all was good. Happy days Have you got yourself an MRI appt yet?
