deep dull sore knee


Question
Hi John,

I read one of your previous responses and you seem like the right guy to speak to!

In the last 2 months I've started experiencing this deep, slow dull ache in and around both my knee-caps. The pain isn't unbearable just niggly. It is sometimes more pronounced at the bottom of my kneecap, on the inner point of where my quad meets my knee cap, and along the bottom outide of my knee. The pain is a bit worse when I walk up stairs or sit for a long while.

I'm 23 year and I've been a runner all my life, and remained very active. last year i did a 56km ultra-marathon without much training, and this really hurt my knees during the race. But this was over a year and a half ago, and I'm only experiencing the pain now.

I have been following the RICE method religiously for the last month and have taken a course of Cataflam anti-inflamatorries. And I have stopped running altough I walk 3kms to work and back each morning.

I was previously running in Nike Start+ shoes.

Any advice, exercises of recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I'm desperate here, and want nothing more than to get back to my runnin!!
Please help!!

Answer
Hi Dillon
You have a clear description of chondromalacia which is quite common in runners and i have helped 100's of runners around the world fix this situation.Most important to success is a great great deal of patience and consistency in workouts.I have recommend up right stationary bike for 45 minutes as often as you can with medium tension increasing it as you become stronger at high rpm 65 to 90.I would stop taking any of your meds since there not helping you.You have to treat the cause which is tracking and alignment.Your case seems slight so you should respond fairly quickly,but this is just a general observation.Time will tell.Forget the RICE not necessary.Add 500mg vit c with your 3 meals a day.I have copied and put together some case history and testimonials with prescription for your consideration.Any questions just get in touch Dillon.This woks 100% if you give it time.

All the best

John

Question:
Hi John,
Its Scott Lovell here again.  Thought I would give you an update on the
knee.  I am into the full swing of refereeing and now doing up to 4x90
min games per week.  Great newsw is I have absolutely no problems at
all.  Am back to normal - jogging, running and sprinting.  Thanks again
for all your advice.  I feel well and truly back on track and actually
feel fitter than ever.  Absolutely no soreness at all now, so you can
imagine I am really happy about it.  I obviously keep up the bike riding
during the week, to ensure no reoccurance

Cheers,
Scott

Subject: runner's knee

Question:
Dear John,

Your program is working like a charm, I felt such a huge noticeable  
difference when walking up stairs. Thanx. My question is how much running
is a little running? I ran 1.5 m 2x on my on and with the running class
I ran 3m. This is in a one week span. I also did 5 spin cycle classes
this week. I tried the kickboxing but it messed me up. So I won't be
doing that any time soon. I'm trying hard not to gain weight while I
rehabilitate. I have quite a bit of a metabolism problem. What do you think?

Question -
Dear John,
 I suspect that I have runner's knee. I've been stepping 2 to 3 times
a week for the past three years. I would sometimes have pain around the
knee especially if the next day after class I would wear heels. I
didn't think much of it until recently. Two months ago, I started running. I
loved it so much I was running 6 miles 2x a wk and then 1/2hr with my
running class.  The day after one of my runs I had excruciating pain
about 2 inches under the knee between the knee and the ankle.  It stop me
in my tracks for a few minutes and I had to walk very slowly. The next
day the pain was gone. I done some digging, it looks like I could do
some spinning and I need to do some quad strengthening. My question is
how do I do it? Take a spin class first then do my quad work or in the
reverse? When is it ok for me to go back to running? Do you think my case
is severe? I also found out that my pronation is off and my feet do not
rotate enough. Are there special running sneakers to help me? I run in
reebox speed runners for men because they are so comfortable. Do you
think these are good enough for me?

Answer -
Hi Revel
Pain 2 inches below the knee would be pantella tendonitis.Your case is
no severe and you will be fine and you can continue to run a little as
you work on my prescription for rehap.as explained in the attached
letter from a privious client.Your running shoes are just fine.Don't
change.Start adding 500mg vit.c to your 3 meals a day to assist recovery and
don't ever stop the C.Follow my program and keep me posted how it is
going.You will be is good as new in no time.The key is patience and focus
and consistency Revel.I would lay off the steping for a few weeks till
you get well into my program.Let me know if you have any questions.

To a successfull rehap.

John

Subject:  Knee soreness
Private:  no

Question:  Hi,
I am 30 years old and have never really had any knee problems.  I am
very annoyed because I feel I have brought this on myself.  I run about 3
times a week, usually on a treadmill.  2 weeks ago I was doing some
lunges with hand weights at the gym.  Admittingly I strained a little and
had probaly used weights too heavy.  3 days later I had a run at the
gym and after 20 mins my knee was really painful.  I iced it up that
night and the following day and then it felt fine.  I have no soreness
walking and none on a very hard workout on the stepper.  2 weeks later I
had a light 5 min run and suffered no pain, then did a 30 min step with
no pain and no sorenes the next day.  2 days later I did a fitness test,
running 3.2km in 12 mins, then 2x100 meter sprints after it.  During
this I felt no pain, but an hourr later I could feel the pain and its
pretty sore again.  2 days since that, my k nee is feeling fine again.  
Does it sound serious?  Have I just pushed it too quickly?  I'm seeing a
physio in 3 days to be cautious.  The pain feels around my knee cap
really - never suffered this before?

Answer:  Hi scott
Great discription of your situation.Thanks for that.Sure makes my job
easier.You  have a slight case of chondro malacia.It isa disintegration
of the patella and femoral cartilage surfaces,resulting in uneven rough
gliding motion between these structures.Any disruption of the normal
smooth gliding motion of this structure will result in cartilage
damage.This is why your feeling where you do.Bottom line not serious but could
be if you don't adress it now.Your knee tracks like a train on the
railrod tracks,and it got out of the groves,jumped track do to some of
those exercises you just did.
To fix this there are 2 things you need to do.First start riding an
exercise bike for 30 to 40 min.3 to 4 times a week.Not a regular bike
except for rec purposes.You want a med to high spin with med to hard
tension.This will retrack the knee and also sand down the back of the knee
cap and smooth it out and also strengthen quads.Second start doing leg
extensions,curls,adductor,abdductor work.Thats it scott,cancel your
physio save $$$.Your situation does sound miner since it goes away quickly
so you should respond rapidly.I would continue with this routine as a
way to stay ahead of the curve as they say.To stay active you have to
incorporate prevention consistently or things will catch up with you,and
that is a promise.Hope this gives you a plan to work with.Let me know
how it is progressing and if you have any other questions.

To your success
