Knee pain thing….

” I’m a pathologist and not a sports medicine doc..lol.”

Hi John – I figured any doc would know a helluva lot more about the human body than any of us armchair diagnosticians, so I thought I’d see if I could tease you back into the discussion.  ;0)

“or how will you be able to do any hiking this summer with Tom K???”

Doug could hike me into the ground even if he had a wooden leg.  He’ll be there.

If this is a patella thing and you have been upping your cycling regimen, try raising the seat. It cured my pain. Apparently my knees were bent too much as I was pedaling even though my seat height felt correct at the time.

I really think that the issue is having run the half marathon without really training much for it, and I just strained it/overworked it.

Oh. Then I would like to change my answer to “Stop doing dumb things”, if that is okay.

A half-assed half marathon is what did my Achilles tendon in. I figured because it was my second one, I didn’t need to worry about training as much because I was only thinking of my cardiovascular fitness and not worried about anything else.

“Stop doing dumb things”

You’re a bit late, I really could have used that advice 40 years ago…
