Good day fellow Hubbers, runners, and looney tunes, Injury - Potential Meniscus tear So i started generic foundation training for triathlons earlier in the year, got through 5-6 weeks, before i had a tumble on my MTB, and was out for around 4-5 weeks. Mainly due to ribs and ankle, nothing serious. I started up again, but from the start again, a few weeks back. The Monday did a light 20 min WOG, Tuesday did a 5km TT to see where i was at fitness wise. Since then been struggling with left knee injury that isn’t healing, after some investigation discovered my cleat position was wrong, and my shoes i had chosen were also wrong, this we discovered when i went to the sports medical center at Loftus for analysis. Although i had neutral shoes the inner heel did not offer enough support and was collapsing under my weight. I was “prescribed” different neutral shoes and they feel more comfortable and stable. The pain is exactly where a medial meniscus tear would be, and sometimes down the rear tendons behind the knee, but this tightness comes and goes on the rear of the knee. When i am cycling on the trainer - No pain Swimming sessions - No pain Running - almost impossible, i run with a limp on the left, and the pain is immediately there, so i stop immediately. Walking also causes some discomfort as does walking up and down stairs, it comes and goes though. If i lie on my back and bend my leg into my chest, i can feel pain i that region. I really want to get back to running, anyone who has had similar (assuming my diagnosis is somewhat accurate) How long did this take to come right ? Is it simply just rest till i am pain free again?
