Experiencing symptoms of runners knee? Let me share my experience with you. I'm a young and healthy person who likes running, jogging, marathons, and other outdoor activities. Running and similar activities lets me relax and clear my head. So, when I developed Runner's Knee, I just about lost my mind.



Once in a while I will compete or run marathons, but usually I run every day. But then last summer, a terrible pain flared up in my right knee. The doc told me about the condition and how I would need to stop running for a while. I almost slapped him.

There are joints in your knee that glide smoothly against cartilage in the knee itself. But when you get Runner's Knee, the joints rub up against the knee and causes terrible pain. That was what I was going through. I'll tell you, it's no fun.

I got myself a book, a bottle of Vicodin, and tried to get friendly with my couch. It drove me mad, mad I say! I really wanted to get active, but my Runner's Knee had other plans in mind.

In keeping myself sane, here is what I discovered. You can only buy so many things advertised in informercials before you realize that they never seem to work! There is a reality TV show for every single situation in life you could ever dream of. Reading the encyclopedia from cover to cover is impossible.

Heating pads are proof that God loves us and wants to heal everybody. It is true that people have thousands of channels, and there is still nothing to watch. Thank heavens my knee finally got better, and now I can run again. I can only describe those few weeks in my life as 'Hell Week!' Well, time to go for a run! Talk to you soon.
