I am currently in week two of a two week 'rest period' due to knee pain on the inner front side of my knee (just to the side and slightly below the knee cap) I have been advised to use foam rollers (doing that daily - quads, hamstrings, IT Band, glues...), take anti-inflammatory pills, and rest... I am doing all of these things but currently still suffering; the pain actually isn't so bad when moving around (I have a young son, so complete rest is an impossibility...) but at the end of the day/start of the next it feels sore.
I am scheduled for a catch up with a medical professional, so this is not a 'diagnose me over the internet' post, just a general straw poll to see if anyone else has had similar experiences, and if there were any illuminating moments when you changed/tried something that led to an improvement.
Prior to this injury running was a perhaps a twice weekly thing, with a PT-led weights session at the weekend that included a healthy dose of legs (squats, lunges, deadlifts, etc) in each session.
I will be easing back into running very very slowly once recovered...
