sheffieldS8 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Any other runners on here had this frustrating injury? Pain hat comes on during running, usually on the outside of the knee? I'm under a physio, but wondered if anyone had any things they could share that got them through/over it? :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducky2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 hi I tore my cruciate ligament in 2007 and had it reconstructed. I often have pain in my knee due to this and arthritis. I have found wearing tuba grip bandage (elasticated) and a good knee support over the top really helps to a point I can still play sports. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you find a solution, because it's really annoying. Try not to up your mileage too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerchick Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I had knee pain really bad last year. Really affected my training. Did short runs with my knee well strapped then used plenty of ice after. Make sure you do lots of stretching. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemson Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Outside the knee could be iliotibial band syndrome. Google it. Can be easily sorted but equally could linger a bit. When I had it, I was told that it was a lot more common in women, due to pelvis angle . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mush Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Just out of interest do you "heel strike" when running? After years of frustrating injuries through running (knee and foot mainly) I have changed my running style to what seems to be classed as "minamilist". Wearing either running sandals or vibram five fingers (i haven't managed to tranistion to full barefoot yet) it encourages you to land on the front/ ball of your foot and although it has taken a long time to get used to it and build strength in the right muscles i can honestly say i haven't had any knee pain in over a year. Just an idea. Hope whatever you do works for you - nothing more frustrating than injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banksy Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sounds very much like ITB to me - its quite a sharp pain which comes on all of a sudden during a run .... its the tendon that runs from the hip to the outside of the knee - when inflamed it can rub across the outside of the knee. Best thing to do is strengthen quads and glutes..... squats, and lunges etc, and keep the ITB loose - foam rolling, cross training can help too.. Initially rest it though and ice. I had this for the VLM, and popped pain killers to get me through - def would not recommend this though. The good thing is that it doesn't do any lasting damage.

sheffieldS8 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks all, I've had my running style analysed and am in the process of adapting to try and get away from heel striking. I'm going to try a knee support in conjunction with stretching, currently can start to feel knee aching about 20 minutes into runs :-( It's only painful whilst running, and pain practically goes as soon as I stop currently! :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
