well, just when I thought things were smooth sailing, BAM! Here comes the knee pain--AGAIN!
After spending nearly 6 months in therapy over the course of the past 2 years I know what it is...serious inflamation from tight hamstrings, quads and calves (and probably a little muscle imbalance in the quad compared to hamstring). It hurts where the 3 muscles intersect below just the knee inside.
For treatment I'll be repeating the physical therapy treatment at home (TENS unit, perscription anti-inflams, the dreaded rest, etc)
While I know this is illogical, I feel like maybe I should just give it all up, and continue biking and weight training for fun--give up running. This reoccurance is tiring and disappointing.
Can someone talk some sense into me? Or, give me any advice?
much appreciated. meow (in tears)
