I did a Parkrun two weeks ago. I had not been running much following a groin strain so it was about my 5th run in two weeks always around 5k. I had no problem other than being tired from the effort due to lack of fitness.
I felt a little bit of pain in my knee that evening but nothing concerning. I awoke on Sunday with more pain and slight swelling above the knee. This got worse slowly during the day and was worse again on the Monday. I have completely rested it but two weeks on its still stiff and a little sore. It is slowly getting better but very slowly. I am worried its going to go again or not heal. I cant see a physio at the moment due to the current situation. I have been running for about 15 years without ever having knee trouble. Any advice?

I can't speak for your usual clinician, but I'm a chiropractor and a lot of my colleagues are offering video consultations at present.
The amount of information that can be gained from discussing your symptoms and doing a few simple movement screens via video link is often enough to plan a course of management.
I would definitely say it's worthwhile going down this avenue rather than waiting until things return to normal.

I was just wondering if anyone could lend some advice. I had ACL reconstruction in January, and for the past few weeks i have felt strong enough to start running again. I'm not an overly keen runner but have been doing 5k once or twice a week for the past 3 weeks, and improving with every run. At first i stuck to running around flat sports pitches, but the last couple of runs i have run on pavement, gravel and woodland?
My knee hasn't given me any sort of pain after, and i wouldn't continue if it had, but i was wondering am i doing too much too soon, given that the surgery was less than 4 months ago? or am i on the right track?
I'm not currently seeing a physio because of the virus situation so been researching and i have seen different advice all over the place.
I'm 32 and hoping to get back into contact sports around september.
Many thanks

1. Do people on this forum want to know about new and effective PFPS solutions?
2. If yes, how does someone with a new product go about telling you here without offending sensibilities?
