Running injury- Knee... Ping?!?!

[WeLoveHaribo]

The outside of my knee when running (sometimes even walking) feels like it's stretching/pinging/going to snap!
Sorry for bad choice of words rubbish at explaining!
Imagine an elastic band being pulled then let go... Feels like that!
Any ideas? Xx

Hi! Did you try using knee braces. I'm an athlete and I often have knee pain. When I consulted my physiotherapist at Athletic Edge Sports Medicine he advised me to wear knee Braces. They are used when you have painful or injured knee. It is a lot of relief. I would suggest you to meet a physiotherapist rather than a doctor and do the necessary treatment.

It sounds like your IT band. It's a very common issue for runners. Google IT band stretches as a starting point. Physio might help.
