I have a hip impingement and labral tear ( as well as some insertional tendinopathy in the glute med - I think that's right) and have been seeing a physio for around 18 months with varying results. Acupuncture and manipulation have worked really well to relieve the pain that builds up and I'm doing loads of specific strengthening work but the root of the problem still exists. My question is about steroid injections or surgery to shave the impingement. I wondered if the physio had any experience with this in terms of seeing runners coming back to running after either of these treatments? (30:15)
- I picked up a niggle in my knee after falling on the trails 10 days ago. Initially thought it was just bruising but the pain hasn’t really subsided. The pain is on the outside of the knee/just below the knee cap. What can I do to help? I have a trail half marathon at the start of March. Would it be advisable to pull out? (33:50)
- My big toe gets painful and numb when I run and I have a bunion on the side of my foot. I also get a pain in the front of my knee on the down run of Comrades. What can I do? (36:45)
