Tracey8670 Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 I run and cycle but have had a lot of pain at the back of my knee since July. Last run oN 2 Sept - just too sore and very swollen. Have had lots of physio. Eventually orthopod, xrays and MRI. He said the patella is skew and will operate in 5 years or so. Have a bakers cyst, he wasn’t concerned. I tried to cycle but with the swelling and pain haven’t even tried to run. Went back today and had a cortisone injection and booked for a scope in Jan. Hopefully I won’t need the scope. But what now? How do you run the recovery? When to start exercising? I have read everything I can find and the advice ranges from nothing for 48 hours to 5 days to 10 days. Any ideas?
Dexter-morgan Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 Some advice from me, take it very slow, you won't feel any pain so you might do more damage.
Greybeard Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 The advice from Dexter is the best you can get. I recently suffered with Achilles tendonitis, later diagnosed as tendonosis and painkillers and Cortisone helped me to stay on the bike. I then slipped on a ladder and snapped the tendon completely. This is a six month healing and rehab process, all because I never followed the advice to let it heal properly and was impatient. I know its a bit different to a knee problem but your body needs time out to heal.
