My Runner's knee
The pain in my knee is, apparently, a condition named "Runner's knee". It can be caused by a softening of the cartilage around the knee cap or it can be a tendonitis.
Mine seems to be a tendonitis, as I've had it chronically for years and years and also because the pain is right under the knee cap.
To correct it, I am:
- Taking ibuprofen for a few days
- Stretching, stretching and stretching, specially muscles which I feel are understretched
- strengthening my inner quads and my gluteus muscles, the last to avoid ITBS (iliotibial band syndrome), which has also started to manifest itself.
- Using arch supporters, to raise my feet arches, throughout the day.
- Not running.
Hopefully this combination will get me back to running, pain free, in about a month.
