This is getting silly

My knee however, is still clicking.

The question is do I ease back into training or do I wait until my knee stops clicking?

Any opinions gratefully listened to.

My knees have been happily clicking for at least 30 years. The only time I ever have problems with them is when they occasionally stop clicking.

Okay, running proper again and knees seem fine - touch wood.

New problem: first run up Pendle on yesterday: straight up, meander back, 5 miles in total.

Later on, wandering round Blackpool the bottom of my foot begins to hurt, very badly, and I can't put weight on it.

This would be the third time I've started fell-running 'cold' and on both previous occasions, I have experienced sore tendons on the soles of my feet. I put this down to the stretching they experience when climbing uphill on the toes and balls of your feet. Something that disappears in time.

This though, is on or just below the bone, about 1/3-1/2 way up my left foot. It feels like a bruising pain and whenever I put pressure on it, or even sit with my feet flat, with no more than the weight of my leg on it, it hurts.

The only thing I can think of, is perhaps I've hit a stone awkwardly (didn't notice whilst running) and I've maybe bruised the bone.

What do you think?

What do you think?

Think you've, as you say, bruised a bone, softly, softly, southernsoftie, ease yourself back into it and be prepared to suffer a little, nowt good ever comes easy

Cheers ML. Any suggestions for treatment, other than stop crying and keep off it if I can?

Don't cry mate, you may get dehydrated, go see a physio perhaps, i'm no expert on injuries, tend to run through my aches and pains but pretty lucky i've never had owt serious go wrong.
All the best and keep smiling

Nearly two weeks on and foot still too sore to run on. Anyone else bruised a bone? How long does it tend to last for?

go see a physio, may be a pulled ligament/tendon between smaller bones try icing. maybe even a stress fracture??

Any bruising or swelling? does it first thing or all the time?

Go to a physio for piece of mind and best advice.

Aye, cheers. I was looking at getting a nother physio appointment in a couple of weeks. Might look to bring that forward.

Pain is on contact with the floor, even just sat with feet flat on floor: the weight of the lower leg seems to be enough. Walking on the forefoot is okay, stairs are no problem, neither is using the clutch in a car. Pain is on the outside of the left foot directly under the ankle bone. Does feel like it's in the bone.

Followed my first run on the hills one morning, but wasn't until the afternoon I felt it after walking round Blackpool for an hour or so.

Sometimes pain is worse than at other times, but haven't noticed if it follows a time of day pattern. If anything the evenings are probably worse, but that probably relates to spending time on my feet.

No noticeable bruising or swelling.

Don't get me wrong, it's not intolerable agony. It can be very uncomfortable, but you know when it just doesn't feel right and you don't want to take a chance in case you make it worse?
