Yesterday I bent down to pick something up and instantly felt a really sharp pain to my left knee front left. Everytime I bend down, it's happening so obvs no bending for me at the moment.
This morning I've noticed a bruise on the side of my knee in the area where the pain is. I can walk on it, bend it, go up and down stairs ok. It's a bit stiff but not overly so. I've Googled and ITBS seems to fit more than a tear. Anyone had similar? My knees have always crackled and granched so base line knee health not great. I also have tight hamstrings. I did a long 40 min walk on a soft sandy beach last week which was hard work and on Friday bent low multiple times applying adhesive to the floor so I think I've set myself up for an injury!
