Old Partial Meniscal Tear
Question:
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!

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!
