So the doc I saw did NOT say to stop running and, in fact, he said the exercise may help loosen it up. :)
HOWEVER...he does want me to go in for Physical Therapy, twice a week...I don't remember what he called it but I think it had to do with the Patella (knee cap)...
Of COURSE there was NO pain when he was looking at it...but believe me, it's there.
I went running tonight and right now my right knee cap is throbbing...not painful, just throbbing...
so we shall see what the therapy does. :)
Did he say anything about wearing an elastic brace or anything? That might help to give support. I do that with my ankles.
ReplyDeleteI have a brace that I bought, but I'm not sure if it's not the right size or I just don't know how to wear it...but it doesn't feel like it's doing anything. :/
DeleteMaybe your therapist can help you out with that.
DeleteOMG i totally forgot to ask about your knee. My doctor put me on physical therapy too. crazy huh? Anyway hope it works for both of us.
ReplyDeleteyeah! I start next week - it's actually on the west side, so I'll be able to go on my lunch break. I WAS gonna run on my treadmill tonight, but we went to a movie instead. :)
Deletehopefully the PT helps. It's funny - same days I feel nothing, and other days it hurts to walk...I keep wondering "do I REALLY need PT?..." but yes. I do. when it hurts, it really hurts.
Oh, I'm sorry things are still hurting. Hopefully a little PT will do the trick. Good luck!
