Knee Pains

blue_blue_sky SG

halo. i m a runner for a poly. i haf been having sharp right knee pains occasionally for bout 6 mnths when i begin de 1st few minutes in my running. at times, de pain can be so severe dat i even haf difficulty in walking after a run. n it usually happens during my long runs, where i jog rather slowly. i dun xperience any pains during my speed workouts. de pain is on de outside of my knee. i haf gone to a specialist n found out dat i haf a leg length discrepancy. my right leg is lomger than my left leg by 2cm. but de doctor said he cant do anything as i de length difference is less than 1 inch n i m not limping. he gave mi a heel raise to insert into de shoe of de shorter leg. is de knee pain cause by ITB Syndrome? de doc oso says i m not suitable for long distance running as i haf flat feet. izzit true? n does it mean dat de leg length dicrepancy will obstruct competitive running?

you can seek help from www.runnersworld.com , and they have some info on leg length and flat foot. Or maybe you can get help from their forum as well.

I do have some knee problems from time to time, and i would just put an ice pack on it before i sleep and let it stay on for the whole night. It does help.
Furthermore, you can do knee bends before you run, and refrain from running too much too soon. Always build up from the base.

hmm….what kind of specialist are u refering to? i suggest you go for for physiotherapy sessions or a sports doctor like the sports council or, Chooks, a very well-known and established sports clinic located just in Orchard Building….i visit there…and currenly under treatment there….yar…hmm….i have a knee injury too….quite permanent…as in…..according to the doctor and physiotherapist…i have to strengthen my hamstring to compensate for my knee…it’s a slight meniscus tear…..yupz…something like that…..maybe u can e-mail me and i’ll pass you Chook’s address? It’s hard to determine what’s the actual injury u are suffering from simply just from it’s symptoms….yupz…i suggest u get a qualified sports doctor to do a diagnosis…..all the best and get well soon…take care…dun forget to smilez…&#8221 Wink ...
