Topics Covered (Time of question in brackets):
- Had a stress fracture in my Tibia and then my calf started to tighten up and my knee then started to give way. What could this be? Potential minor tear in meniscus. (00:00)
- I’m looking to buy some knee braces I can use on longer runs or when my knee plays up (I know there are several issues with it and I have had physio and rehab but slowly getting back into running). I think I'd feel more secure with a brace occasionally. Any good brands or any that you think I should stay away from? (13:40)
- Started course of anti inflammatories for my achilles. Did a cycle yesterday and it has flared it a bit, is this normal? (16:10)
- Looking for further advice on Achilles and ankle pain. The first k is very painful then calms down. I have changed my work shoes, using heel lifts in them, took a break, ice cold basin after run, trying heel lifts and drops. Any further advice? (20:40)
- I have a pain in my knee, bottom left of right kneecap. Had it since September. Physio says it's caused by weak hamstrings which were very weak especially compared to quads. They are stronger now. But it is not getting better and I'm so frustrated. Whatever the diagnosis is, what it feels like to me is that I need to stretch, but I don't know in what direction. Can you offer any advice on particular stretches while I explore other routes? (26:30)
- What are the itisus? (34:00)
- What is your recovery post comrades like? (35:45)
