Well it's academic now as I have a knee injury, looks like I may need to get on a later PRMC.

If it's runners knee, your best bet is some new (properly fitted) shoes.

er, It might not be!!

We did a recent thread on this. You need to see the Doc or Physio get it looked at properly or you could cause long term damage.

Sorry that was a little ignorant. Doctors are usually limited in their knowledge about sports injuries, physios are alot more efficient.

That's it my lad :lol: You can talk about your own "experience" but we should always refer posters to experts who know a lot more than we do.

Don't forget we'd had someone on here saying running on concrete is good for strengthening legs :o <DOH>

Cheers for the advice mfat_man and JCAP3. I have had no injuries training all year then the chain of events are such:

26/08/06 - Felt a slight click inside right knee during football

28/08/06 - Started 6 mile run no probs. 5 miles in and I started to get a twinge inside right knee. The last 150 meters back to my house I could barely lift/bend my right knee and could not walk upstairs, I had run the full distance though in 41mins :-).

29/08/06 - Caught cold, throat felt like I was swallowing razor blades. Ill for rest of week, no training except gentle kick arounds in the park

Today - Started last 3 weeks of training before PRMC. Started 6 miler after a warmup. 1 mile in and the inside of the right knee started to twinge, 2-3 miles in and the knee could not be run on any more, had to wrap and walk three miles home!

I managed to book a private appointment at a private GP 15 miles away, at a cost of £60! because the local doctors would not take on any more patients and waiting list was 7 + days anyway.

Went to see doctor, told him about prmc in 3 weeks and he diagnosed inflammation/slight damage to internal structure of the knee. He gave me anti inflammatories and signed me off for 10 days, no running, no football and no labouring/stairs. He reckond that if it cleared up after resting for a while I may still be able to make the PRMC. If it still does not clear up then may need some fibre optic thingy in my knee to look at any damage.

I can't believe the last 2 weeks of bad luck. I have run over 400 km this year with no probs, then 3 weeks before PRMC I get this.

I know what you mean wedge, I've been ready for a while now and now my backs playing up just as I'm planning to do four hard phys sessions in two days, it has been a little twingy for a few weeks though. Bugger!
