Boo Hoo....

After my knees hurt so bad during the marathon, I had taken some time off running til today to let them heal a bit. I thought I'd be ok today so I went out for a short 6 mile run. Bad move. More pain. Both knees feel like I am getting pins pushed through them (Big ones!). I hobbled all the way again.

I've been online and looked at the advice there... rest, compression, getting gait analysed etc.. so nothing I didn't know. I've been trying to contact the gait analysis place this week, but not managed to get through yet. I am thinking about whether I should bother contacting my GP, or if the advice will just be the same...?

Advice is welcome please.....Dad (because you used to run and have sore knees) and Lucy (because you have some medical training and live with a PT) your views are especially welcome on this one. That's not to say that I don't value anyone else's views, but this I assume is not your specialist area...

FYI-Mum I would pick you if the Phone a Friend question was about Star Trek/ Poirot or some sci fi programme. Gary- anything to do with music that no-one else has heard of..

Ross knows what I call on him for (and I do frequently!)... but I don't think that I need to mention him, because he tells me he never reads anyone's blog anyway!
