Subject: RE: Knee Pain from doing nothing Hot Runner - 2013-05-04 8:24 AM Could be possible it's something you did that's not even running-related. A few days before a pretty long race last month that involved 18 km of running, one of my knees started to hurt on an easy run and I had to cut the run short. Like you, no idea why--I'd just done an easy swim the day before. Took the next two days till the race off from running and a daily dose of Advil--never hurt during the race and hasn't come back. In retrospect, I think I may have bruised the kneecap or irritated the patellar tendon by kneeling on the floor when I was working with a student at her desk. I was doing that last week and one of the kids brought me a chair--such great students, taking care of their teacher! Have also "injured" myself doing silly stuff ranging from driving with the seat not in the usual position, gardening, and sawing up fallen tree limbs! I'd try a few days off, stretching, ice, and Advil before panicking. Did some ice and Advil. I'll see how it goes through the day, thanks. |
