Challenges and Diagnosis of Knee Pain in Runners

Whether it’s patellar tendinopathy, patellofemoral pain, or a mysterious wildcard diagnosis, recognizing these conditions provides a foundation for informed and targeted management. If you experience knee pain that doesn’t fit into the common challenges and diagnosis of knee pain discussed here, it’s essential to seek medical evaluation to identify the underlying cause.

Tbh it really is something to have grandmothers (one late 70s other late 80s) who are in better shape than you are, like I go see my grandma and we walk somewhere and i'll be panting before she's even slightly out of breath and it's not like she's in the best of conditions either, and then don't even get me started on my other grandma, she still does sports.

I know that was a shitpost for the latest Danny Phantom fandom meme, but I'm genuinely impressed and how authentic it sounds. How much of Dash's monologue is real advice, and how do you know all of that? Do you work out?

Yes I'm so sorry to inform my good people of Tumblr that I've secretly been a part of the gym fandom for all this time. I've only recently come out as a gymbro in this phandom via my creation of the current dp gym bro au meme that I've forced upon everyone in this good holy christian space. I mix whey protein into my overnight oats, I track my macros, and I have a closet full of Gym Girlie Outfits™️.

And just know it's a badge of honor that I carry to be able to say I've converted multiple members of the Danny Phantom phandom into regular gym goers as well 💪

Aight I've heard the whole "the normal amount of pain is zero" thing but like how much pain is the normal amount after relatively strenuous and/or unusual activity? Like when you're doing stuff you wouldn't necessarily normally do and you're not used to it? By that I mean being on your feet for four to five hours lol I have no idea how people work eight-hour shifts at my job

currently betting with my bf on whether my labs will come back normal

(meanwhile my best friend is wishing me anemia)

Hate how being a therian has been reduced down to “doing quadrobics” as a therian who cannot do quadrobics because it will cause me immense physical pain and exhaustion

Weird piece of self care advice:

As long as you’re not injuring yourself, there’s no fucking “best” type of workout. If you hate the types of workouts you’re doing then you should find another type of exercise because there’s probably one out there that you won’t hate.

Like I finally realized after 7 years of being a cross country runner that I HATE running. I’ve always hated it. But it was familiar and everyone thought it was such a good form of exercise so I stuck with it.

In college I realized I like ice skating and weight lifting and I finally got back into working out because of that and it’s so much less hard on my body and doesn’t cause pain flair ups for me.

Just putting this out there Bc I think it would have been helpful for me a few years ago to have someone give me permission to change the type of exercise I did.

Little reminder: if it hurts to take the stairs, you're allowed to take the lift (in fact, you don't need anybody's permission).

scared of going to the doctor too cause unfavorable scenario they see nothing wrong with it and they just say good luck and I'm footing a bill worst case scenario is they say it's so fucked and I need surgery or something cause it's only gonna get worse

my foot pain problem is getting worse & i got new insoles for both my work shoes & my everyday shoes (which i think are the pair causing the problem which really sucks bc i kinda splurged on them so i could have a pair of everyday shoes that werent my work shoes or my boots. and they've developed a squeak) but i havent put them in my work shoes yet & i need new work shoes soon regardless of whether theyre the problem but shoes are expensive & i need to get the same pair i've bought twice now over the past 3 years bc i know theyre comfortable and fit well. and i technically have the money but i also am moving soon and i dont know yet what the moving costs will be so i dont want to be throwing money around if it can wait which it can except my foot hurts AND. the other one has started hurting too. can we do something about this

So fun fact when I was a kid my mom decided I wasn’t active enough. So she bought me absurdly expensive running shoes I did not ask for, dragged me out in the below freezing east coast weather, and started me on this “couch potato to 5k” challenge.

Every day after school, we ran. First it was 5 minutes a day, then 7, then 10… you get the gist. I think after 2 months we were running about an hour every day. By the time I quit running when I was 10, my mom and I had run 3 5ks together over the span of a little over a year.

A little after stopped running, I noticed some pain in my right knee. It got a little bit worse, and a little bit worse, and a little bit worse… and then five years later, when it had gotten to the point where I couldn’t pay attention in geography class because I was in constant pain from having to sit all day, I finally went to the doctor.

They told me the cartilage under my kneecap was worn down from overuse. It’s called chondromalacia patellae—also known as “runners knee.”

The thing is: When we were in races, and I was overwhelmed, I told my mom I wanted to stop. I told her I was in pain and I needed to slow down. I told her I didn’t like running.

And you know what she said to me?

“Suck it up.”

And I’m not saying “don’t tell your kids to exercise.” Your kids SHOULD exercise—not because of any bullshit weight reason or anything, but because they’re kids, and it’s good for them. Good for their bones, or whatever.

And I’m not saying “don’t exercise WITH your kids” either, because again, they should be exercising a little. And if you being there helps them stay motivated, that’s great.

What I am saying is: Listen to your kids. Trust that they know their own limits better than you do. Even if you think that they’re being over dramatic, or whiny, or whatever—don’t take the chance.

I’m 20 years old now. My knee still hurts. I have a whole suite of other, unrelated chronic conditions that would be improved if I exercised more. And I try to, I really do. But it’s kind of hard to do squats when just one makes your knee feel like it’s on fire for the rest of the week.

Listen. To. Your. Kids.

The good news is I accomplished my mission of buying trousers, the bad news is my knee is SUPER unhappy about it

[tenrose]

Nobody told me after 30, the thing that would betray me when walking a lot would be my knees 😫
