Running - pain!?

Question

i am starting cross country but when i went to practice today my knees started killing me. i just got over a knee injury a couple months ago so i thought it was better. what should i be doing to help my knee?

i know i'm suppose to ice it.. and take advile.

anything else?

Answer 1

try to run on flat ground. any sideways inclination will s***w up your balance and cause knee pain to people wihtout knee problems.

Answer 2

try running with a knee brace, you can get them at any sporting goods store

Answer 3

rest them & stop further exercise activities

have it checked by a doctor or chyropractor & ask him the proper therapies

apply athlete's creams & vapor rubs available in your local drugstores, to soothe the pains & massage it gently to ease the pains

ya only continue running if it's completely healed or else it will only be aggravated & may cause more pains & troubles

good times & keep healthy

Answer 4

icy hot might help and be sure not to over do it.

Im a runner too and if its bothering you. take a day or two rest.

it will be worth it in the end :)

Answer 5

I have bad knees and I run too.

I would suggest to not run as much.

Answer 6

your problem could be this "advile" it sounds like a destructive drink they give to lab rats

i reccommend "ADVIL"

it works well

Answer 7

Get a brace and go a little easier, that knee isn't healthy yet, they take a while to heal

Answer 8

keep of it for a while longer, i had knee surgery too, i could not run for like 6 months, but now im better, and if you do run make shure you warm up your knees good and stretch them out after you run, also make shure to take a day off to give your knees chance to heal. (like run 3 days  and take a day off and run again) it will get better
