Hi
Just recently when i'm running I get a pain in my right leg, it's just by my knee on the outside of the leg. It mainly happens after i've run about three miles and more so when i'm running uphill. It's like an ache and it's becoming more frequent every time i run. I ran 6 miles today and it is very sore tonight especially when i'm coming down the stairs and putting pressure on it. It's not to bad when walking normally.
Has anyone any ideas what it is??
If so what is it and how can I treat it ??
Colin.

had a similar thing to that once took me ages and 3 phisio's to sort it out turned out to be ilitibial band syndrome cured by wearing orthotics .
So my advice would be to see a running/sports based physio and/or a pediatrist .
The first 2 phisios i saw didn't have a clue thats when i went to a sports based one and he told me almost straight away (money well spent!)best of luck and don't give up- Hadders

I had a very similar injury just after I did the Sheffield marathon but mine started with a very sharp pain down the side of my knee which stopped me dead in my tracks. After when I went for a run the pain use to flair up again sometimes after only a mile of running this is the ligament rubbing on the side of your knee,I went from running a marathons to power walking in the space of a week , sounds like you have the classic runners knee.I was lucky as I got free physio from work, she told me it would take 6/8 weeks to get right and to build my runs up slowly. I also hammered the movalat gel, hope this is of some use to you
