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.

Recovery after "Light" Injuries
Question:

Good afternoon.

I run a little over half-year. Taking my fitness level and frequency of trainings into consideration I can say that I'm a novice, not even amateur runner.

Unfortunately, even during this short period I had injuries. A month ago I pulled ligaments of ankle joint in the result of failed landing (my leg slipped), it hurt for a long time. Now a new misfortune: a discomfort in the area of hip joint is felt for a couple of days.

These injuries are not so serious to consult a doctor, so I use ointment and do breaks in training. Now I more or less understand something about prevention but when injuries happens...Are there any working exercises or other rehabilitation methods that should be used but not after severe injuries?

Thank you!
