Experiencing symptoms of runners knee? Let me share my experience with you. I’m a young and healthy person who likes running, jogging, marathons, and other outdoor activities. Running and similar activities lets me relax and clear my head. So, when I developed Runner’s Knee, I just about lost my mind.

Once in a while I will compete or run marathons, but usually I run every day. But then I developed serious pain in my right knee last summer. I almost slapped the doc when he told me that because of my condition, I would have to stop running for a while.

Normally, the joints in your knee glide smoothly against cartilage in the knee. With Runner’s Knee, the knee rubs against the joints and can cause some intense pain. That’s what I had to put up with, and let me just say that it’s no fun at all.

I got myself a book, a bottle of Vicodin, and tried to get friendly with my couch. It drove me mad, mad I say! I really wanted to get active, but my Runner’s Knee had other plans in mind.

Here is what I discovered to keep myself sane. There are only so many things you can purchase from infomercials before you realize that none of them work! There is, in fact, a reality show for every single situation you could ever think of. It really is impossible to read the encyclopedia.

Heating pads are proof that God loves us and wants to heal everybody. It is true that people have thousands of channels, and there is still nothing to watch. Thank heavens my knee finally got better, and now I can run again. I can only describe those few weeks in my life as ‘Hell Week!’ Well, time to go for a run! Speak to you soon.
