I finally went to the doctor, today, Friday.
The knee wasn't getting any better so I thought I should get some intervention before I blow my chances of the Stanchart race.
It's Osgood Schlatters, a condition where the bony protrusion below the knee (called the tibial tuberosity or tubercle) becomes inflamed, painful and swollen.
It's not as serious but the doctor said I stay away from running/jog for a week or two. I was given some medicine too.
But looking at what is mentioned on the net, it a disease of children and adolescents 'who are still growing.' Bah!

I'll do a little running to see how it goes.
PS
All the best to Jack and Kamau as they take the run tomorrow.

Pole man. Just keep trying different things from what you have been doing and you should be outta the woods.
ReplyDeleteKamau left KRA for greener pastures and has been busy. More on the sato race on my blog.
Cheers and gud luck with the knee. Do exercises that will keep your aerobics in check in the meantime - core strength exercises - like crunches and pushups.
Cheers.
