Dear All, Just writing to solicit some advice from some of
you that may have experienced similar problems. I have been
running injury free for a while but recently (starting about
2 weeks ago) had some pain on the side of my right knee that
feels like its an IT-Band problem. It hurts rotating the
knee through about 30 degrees from the extended position and
going down stairs was painful at its worst. I took a week
off an began running again. Little pain during the easy, 20
minute run but the pain after exercise came back again. Took
another couple days off an ran again today. Easy, 20 mins.
And now, pain again, though not as bad as before and now,
about 9 hrs after my run, its basically gone. I should say
that I bought a new pair of running shoes a few weeks ago.
No big changes. Just went from an old pair of Asics 2080s to
some new 2090's. My training loads have been constant over
the past month or two, definitely no increases in mileage or
changes in running surfaces or routes. I've been medicating
as well, therapeutic NSAIDS prn. I'm just afraid that I will
take another few days off and run, and then have the same
problem. I want to address the cause, but its difficult to
discern and it seems like I've attacked all the variables.
I've been stretching extra good too and trying to strengthen
my adductors. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
