HI there,
I was due to have ACL reconstructive surgery in August but - to be honest - I bottled it. I had been doing a lot of cycling last year and built my quads up and I wasn't getting knee trouble so decided that the surgery - and a year of intensive physio - was not worth it.
I got back into gentle running in September - no probs.
Have been doing hills now but am very wary on descents so I don't aggravate the knee.
Am finding, however, that I get a bit of pain in the knee sometimes which keeps me off running for a couple of weeks. Am pretty sure it is from meniscal tears which I also have and am wondering if a knee brace might help.
Wonder if anyone on here uses one to good effect and can recommend a decent one for running as some of them look fairly cumbersome.
Much appreciated.
p.s. - I have Feel The Burns on Sunday so quick recommendations would be appreciated so I can order something today
