Is running turning into a pain in the knees?
It might actually be the hips that need your attention, according to a sports medicine expert at Baylor College of Medicine.
Although anti-inflammatory medications, ice and bandages may be helpful, they may not address the underlying causes. Chorley makes the following suggestions:
- Stretch properly before running
- Don't increase mileage by more than 10 to 15 percent per week
- Take a break and walk when knee pain begins
- Replace shoes every six to nine months or every 500 miles
- Know what your foot type is and be sure you have proper cushioning
However, there are some symptoms that may indicate a more severe problem:
- Fluid accumulating in the knee
- Painful popping or a mechanical sensation
- Someone who had a previous structural injury such as torn ACL or PCL that's now experiencing pain
Anyone experiencing these symptoms should consult a sports medicine physician.
