i think i may have runner's knee. my knee has been hurting for the past 4 days and from what i've researched, it's runner's knee. my question: anyone had this before and if so, what did you do to heal it.

Lower your intensity or take complete rest, is it that hard to figure out? After that I would suggest checking your stride and your shoes and fixing as necessary.

I had this last year... I read that strengthening your quads will help it, so what I did was I sat on a high stool, put on ankle weights(pretty light) and then I just extended my leg at the knee a bunch of times because that exercises your quads. I didn't count how many reps, I just did it while watching TV. Then you lie down on your stomach and do hamstring curls with the ankle weights. There's a machine for this in the weight room too, but it's easier to do this at home. soooo, idk. this worked for me. Good luck!

yes, it stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. after long hours in the lab for about two years i concluded that this is the cure for everything including AIDS.futureNIKErunner wrote:P2 wrote:easy to get rid of. RICE.
