Inside Knee Injury

Question
Hi John,
Just a question for you.  Recently we bought a treadmill and I was running 30 minutes a day.  One day I decided to do a program that uses an incline up and down for 30 minutes.  Once done with this program, my knee was fine, but later in the evening it really started to hurt and now it is almost impossible to bend that leg for any reason.  Needless to say I haven't run since then. The pain is to the left on the inside of my right knee about 1 to two inches over and it has bee hurting for one week. Please can you help with some advice...Thanks Mark.

Answer
Hi Mark
You have a tracking and alignment situation with your knee.You want to get on a up right stationary bike and ride for 30 to 40 minutes with medium tension increasing as you become stronger at 65 to 90 rpm high rev 3 to 4 days a week longer if you want.Let me know how your progress is coming or call me here in albuquerque NM any time.contact page on my web site.Try some epson salt baths to relax the muscular skeleton.
