I have suffered from Runner's Knee in the past and it is something that brings much pain. I would run for so long and then the knees would start hurting and this in turn would curtail my running. It used to get sore just below the Patella, it was a dull kind of ache in that region and the only thing that would help was rest. But you know, that is not what runners want to do, is it....
I eventually went to see a podiatrist who, after examining my gait etc. prescribed orthotics - these are inserts which go into your trainers. I started cautiously with these and soon found that I was running again comfortably with no knee pain !! I have ran consistently for the last 4yrs. with the orthotics and would certainly recommend them to anyone who is suffering like I did with knee pain. But remember, go to a specialist podiatrist before buying any orthotics. Listen to what he says and follow his recommendations, it will pay off in the end.
