Injured knee

3 replies

I've recently started the couch to 5k. There no stand out moment when I hurt my knee but it started bothering me after one run on treadmill (stuck on an incline) and one run on slippery and v uneven ground.
Hurts to move, stand on, tender to touch, kneeling on it is really sore. Pain is mainly on the inside of leg/side of kneecap.
Any advice at all? Should I try to continue running? It's been a week without and not much improvement.

Do not run on it! Rest, ice and elevate and if it isn't improving pretty quickly take it to your GP!

Continuing to run on it may make it worse and you might get another injury as well due to changing your gait!

Please don't run on it!

RICE is standard advice - Rest, Ice, Compression (if you have a knee support or tube bandage to hand), Elevate.
