i had the dame kinda problem a while back,my knee was like a watermelon!!!

i did this exercise to help my klnee out(and my abs)but it is VERY VERY VERY PAINFUL!!

lie on your back and lift your sore leg up to about 2 feet off the ground,then twist it to the outside slowley...it is really painful but i was back running within two weeks.

hope this helps

Yeah I am.

could be the shoes. are they worn down?

Yeah, they are looking a little scruffy to be honest. Nike Air Maxes though...

What about swimming. Too many people overlook swimming but if you can't do the running then the swimming could be just what you're after!

Yeah I said that earlier. I'm a school teacher so i got the summer off. Think i'll get up early and take a few miles in.

Is swimming just as calorie burning/beneficial to stamina etc?

Go see a Dr. The last thing you want to do is turn a minor injury into something terrible and need some sort of replacement surgery. It sucks not being aboe to train for a bit until you get it sorted out, but in the long run you'll thank yourself.

2 weeks off now can save you from having to stop for a lifetime.

Haven't had my knees go but i've had my ankles go, I put mine down to doing the running, too much of it can injure your joints, I mean look at it this way, 5 days a week or so your joints are under alot of pressure whether it's just running on a non training day or whether it's skipping, running on the spot, tuck jumps, pike jumps etc, calm down with the running for abit, let your knees sort themselves out and spend the days off doing more bodyweight exercises that don't put so much pressure on your knees.

I got into a fight 2 saint paddys ago and had a guy kick my left knee in when I was choking out his friend. That being said I have nursed that knee after running since. My advice is ICE ICE ICE that knee EVERYTIME after you finish running. You will notice a marked difference. Also do not run two days in a row and try and use the treadmill as much as possible. Only roadwork with no pain. It will get better if you ice it and I also include an anti inflammatory immediately after. Good luck

.

if the sole is worn down its very likely that's the problem, try using another pair or going barefoot on a treadmill or something once it's calmed down a little. i had a friend have the exact same problem and it turned out to be the shoes.

I've probably just ran to much and my shoes are looking scruffy. Could be that.

I was runnign 3 mile a day and doing sprints each day at training later, 4/5 times a week plus training five days. Can't have been good on the joints.
