Good afternoon,
MR showed old partial meniscal tear.
Sharp pain occurred after running a 9 km and I had to complete my half-marathon distance by walking with broad strides or switching to a race walking in order not to feel the pain.
During a half year I had three attacks of pain. But there was no pain after short runs (7-10 km). Now I gave my knee a week to rest and recover.
What can you recommend? How to recover and return to the earlier level? I'll have to run another race and hope I won't damage the meniscus absolutely(((.

Good afternoon,
When the period of full recovery is ended - it means the absence of pain and any discomfort - you should return to training gradually.
It is recommended to start running on soft surfaces and in shoes with more cushioning. The length of run should be minimum. You could begin with short runs of 10-15 minutes and increase the duration of training gradually in the absence of discomfort. You should also care about pharmacological support in the form of sports nutrition containing collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin. Mechanical protection such as a knee pad is good as well.
Wish you health and success!
Good afternoon.
Please, give me some recommendations how to protect yourself from injury and extend your sport career? Of course, I understand the importance of proper warming up and adequate load.
But may be there are some tips or secrets based on your personal experience.
Thank you in advance.
Good afternoon.
I run at least 10 km a day.
Please, tell me whether HA injections are advisable as preventive measures for cartilage tissues protection or not?
Good afternoon.
May I run if I was diagnosed with a spinal disc herniation and osteochondrosis?
I'm eager to run but I'm afraid))))But I want to run very, very much.
I feel severe pain in calf muscles after racing.
How to recover faster after a race?
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.
