The pain in my knee is only from running. The pain in my foot is all the time. And the wierd numbness/disconnected feeling is all the time.

My uneducated guess is that my leg is not functioning the way it should and running is too high impact that it causes pain.

I used to do them in my workout routine all the timne up until bout 6 weeks ago. The physio said I was tilting my pelvis forward and using my hip flexor too much and not to do them if i couldn't do them correctly. I feel like that muscle right up under your bum is really weak and walking up hill it just doesn't have strength so my leg rotates inwards.

P.s thanks for your help Pman

RE: lunges, I was curious as to whether you noticed your knee caving in on those, or any feelings of instability or bad balance on the side that hurts.

Knee pain can almost always be traced to either immobile ankles (which includes poor soft-tissue quality in the feet and calves) or unstable/weak hip extensors along with tight hip flexors.

It sounds like you've got a weak spot in your hips on that side, and the hip flexor is probably tight accordingly. You could also have some soft-tissue issues in your feet and tight ankles - almost every runner does, and it won't necessarily cause knee problems on its own, but it can definitely make them worse.

Stretch the hip flexors, do glute strengthening (or activation, same thing) exercises, mobilize the ankle, and watch this video:

Yup definately notice the knee caving in and even when i concentrate on not letting it it still does!!

Yeh and I have always had really tight calves think its from doing ballet and pointe work for so much of my life. And I have big are they called bunions?? on the sides of my big toe where like the bone grows from dancing too. Dont think that helps either.

Thanks Pman I will give those a go.

I know its one of those things that is caused by other stuff not an injury as such more a syndrome?? The physios have done some work on my calves and alot on my ITB.

Hey girls thanks for your concern

ummm no gud news at the moment :cry:

I officially have the longest injury of my life!! And I had some bad ones when i was dancing fulltime.

The worst part is I am yet to find a physio that understands my problem let alone can treat it! My motivation is at an all time low. And I have pain even walking now.

Life sux

TIME TO GET READY FOR SUMMER :shock:

There have been a few random sunny days up here lately and Ive nearly been tempted to put my bikini on and sun bathe (not quite tho) so I think it is time I commit to getting ready for the beach.

Update on my injury: Still unable to run but am currently seeing an onto it chiropractor and physio and seeing some improvements. At one point the pain completely changed from the left knee to the right knee!! WTF!!?? So it proves that the physio is on the right track when he thinks its a stability problem with my hip flexor and extensor (just like Pman said :grin: ). My current rehab exercises involve going for walks trying to not use my hammys (which get really sore on long walks) and clench my butt (so embarrassing :oops: and fucken hard!!).

Seeing a PT each week at the moment to keep me working hard and oh my heck she is the best I've ever had. Have also added in body combat and body pump classes into the mix and still doing kickboxing classes though not every week.

So yuss things are much brighter than the last time I posted in my journal. Its actually gud reading that last post because I can see how far I've come. \:D/

Time to get serious though and tighten up on the diet mainly...

Diet is basically:

Pre morning workout: 1 x Ripped Freak (just taking it easy on these coz sumtimes they make me spew :shifty: )

Thanks peeps 8)

Today I remembered why I like hard out cardio stuff rather than weights. And the main reason is the day after I have done cardio I can still sit down on the loo. Whereas the day after I have done some heavy leg work I sorta bend my knees a bit and then fall onto the seat. Unless I use the disabled one they have a nice lowering down handle next to it.

Anyways I never post up my weights coz I duno how everyone does it?

Like when you do the leg press machine do you write 80kgs because you have loaded four plates on? Or is it more than that do you add the weight of the bar thingy? And for things using dumbells do you put the combined weight of boths dumbells or just whats in one hand??

Yeah I've always been confused by this too. When I do DB work, I'll usually say the exercise then in brackets put 'per arm' then just do the DB weight. For leg press, my trainer includes the sleigh and estimates it as 20kg. So if I've added 80kg worth of plates, I'll write down 100kg. I could be wrong though, but this is what he has told me.

hey peachey its a good sign if you cant sit on the toilet after working legs yeeyaa :nod: nod of approval ....re weights I always add the bar big olymic bar being 20kgs small bent curl bar being 8kg and dont normally worry bout adding the weight of the sleigh on leg press or hack squat but each to their own whatever you write down long as you keep it the same as its all about progressing your own weights aye missy!!
