Return To Racing
So I'm getting this random sharp pain from the lower part of my knee, radiating down along my shin, kind of like a severe shin splint. Pretty much a daily occurance for the last month. It can happen while I'm walking or running. Sometimes it occurs when I'm slowing down or making a turn. Seems to happen when my knee is straightening out. I can feel fine and all of a sudden the pain appears and subsides usually after a few steps, although it can persist and I abort the run, although I generally run through it at a slow pace. I can keep weight on the leg when it occurs, but I need to slow or stop when it happens. Only other previous knee problem that needed treatment was a torn miniscus in the other knee. I run about 20 miles a week at 10:30 pace and don't do speed work. 60+ age group.
Sound familiar to anyone? Thoughts?
