I agree that despite what your doctor said, you would run the risk of sustaining a far worse injury.<BR/><BR/>Also, I strained a tendon on the inside of my left knee doing helicopters on skis (bad land). No audible pop, but did feel something which I thought should have made a popping sound. No swelling, but it did hurt like hell and was bruised around my knee cap. I took to biking for a couple of months, which did not bother my knee and was ready to rock and roll after that.<BR/><BR/>Good luck....we will be rooting for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-31742869352500901692007-03-09T21:33:00.000-05:002007-03-09T21:33:00.000-05:00Thanks all.

I was down for 2 weeks when I pulled my calf in February and I thought I'd go batty ... but that's a distant memory now, even though it was only last week that I ran more than 30 miles since the first week of Feb.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350841837453498786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-56028517951554461902007-03-08T22:10:00.000-05:002007-03-08T22:10:00.000-05:00Hey Jamie,Congrats to your friend Devon!

I didn't get a chance to check out the Napa Valley Marathon this year, but I've been thinking of tackling it next spring (tell her not to worry though - I won't give her a run for her money!)<BR/><BR/>Keeping my fingers crossed for your knee . . .Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09750893813872596478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34544002.post-33134169211663793722007-03-08T19:18:00.000-05:002007-03-08T19:18:00.000-05:00Well, I hope it's not a torn ACL, that's for sure...Well, I hope it's not a torn ACL, that's for sure! How does it generally feel when you run? I stopped running for 3 days to give my sprained knee a rest and it hurt worse when I started again. PT always hurts more if I haven't run on it that morning. I think the increased blood flow helps the injury. You should definitely do whatever your sports doctor says, but keep the joint mobile, if possible.Runner NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483077724253340414noreply@blogger.com
