Physio Q&A with Parys (24 Oct 24)

Topics Covered (Time of question in brackets):

  • I keep getting a pain under my knee and sometimes I can't walk down the stairs the next day but after a couple of days it gets better. (00:02)
  • After I ran a marathon on the weekend my knee swelled up a bit and not too sure why? (12:00)
  • I currently have stress fracture on my femur. Been approx 7 weeks now. Turns out I have osteopenia (I'm 52, post menopause) is there anything I need to consider getting back into running with osteopenia? (17:30)
  • Earlier in the year I had a left foot problem (similar presentation to Morton's neuroma but wasn't!) and a podiatrist recommended an insole with arch support and met pad. That problem has now gone away, but I'm still wearing the insoles on both sides. I have since developed very tight quads, and I sometimes get shooting discomfort and a weakness feeling down the outside of my quad and into the knee. Mainly on the right but also sometimes the left. Could this be down to the insoles altering my gait, and should I now remove them? (25:30)
  • When I try and do the glute med exercise where you push your knee against the wall, my glute doesn't fire. What can I do to strengthen this? (28:00)
