Knee Pain, Leg Numbless
Question:
Tendon injury, ligaments injury or ligament tension?
I trained on a conrete (25 km twice or three times a week) and after that I felt knee pain and my legs became numb from knees to feet. I felt a dragging pain in a week. It's been three months since then but the knee pain doesn't go away provided that there were no sharp pain, tumours, bruise, X-ray was clear. I'd taken a course of anti-inflammatory pills (glucosamin, collagen and chondroitin in complex).
What can it be?

Greetings!
The trouble is that it's a huge problem to find a competent sports traumatologist or specialist in sports medicine. In many cases doctors who don't work with sportsmen don't give recommendations that allow you to make a full recovery and return to trainings. You'd probably hear "stop running".
I say it precisely because your case described above lies within the competence of doctors rather than a coach. If long rest and prevention can't help and don't result in good remission, it's an unmistakeable sign of a medical problem. In this case I can only recommend you to refer to another specialist.

Good afternoon,
I felt hip pain (right side) after 11 km running. I found on the internet that it can be caused by leg length difference and arranged to see an orthopedist but may be you know what can cause the pain and how to solve the problem?
Good afternoon,
How to "feed" my knees in order not to feel discomfort after a long-term running? Usually, I drink BAAs (glucosamine and chondroitin) but the effect lasts 1-2 months only.
Good afternoon.
Could you tell me how to protect knees properly while running (sometimes, my knees hurt after running).
I see many runners wearing knee pads, do knee pads help?
Demotivation after traumas - what to do? How not to stop running at all while you can't run?
Is it possible to put a running technique by yourself? How to check it?
Good afternoon.
When I run, my leg moves along an arc-shape trajectory and my knees sometimes rub together.
Is that OK? How could I change it?
