Pain on side of knee

Injury/Nutrition Knee

9 years ago 10/27/2014 7:43am EDT

I ran a marathon a couple of weeks ago. I had no issues prior to the race and did not have any problems during the race either.

Just after the race and since then I have had this pain on the right side of my left knee.

The pain if I'm pressing down with my hands is difficult to pinpoint but it is between the bony protrusion at the bottom of my femur and the patella. It does not hurt at all at the patella though, the pain is closer to the bony protrusion.

I now feel it even walking around after a run I went on yesterday. Yesterday I ran 14 at a quicker pace than I have run in the past couple of weeks during my recovery. It mainly hurts when I flex my leg. During the run yesterday the pain came on quicky when I started to pick the pace up.

I'm not sure what exactly this is and what I should do. I was wondering if anyone knows what might be going on?

Could be IT Band Syndrome

I'm not sure what it is but that is definately NOT an IT band issue if the pain is not on the outside of the knee.

Inside of left knee, then not IT Band issue, but if it comes to outside then more than likely yes. Hopefully it will go away with some rest and ice. Good luck

Thank you.

I tried going out and runnin slow today. No good. I managed 4 miles but at a lousy 8+ pace. I don't think I got anything out of that other than aggravating the injury. I'm going to have to go to the gym and find the machine that allows me to keep my cardio shape without making it worse.

Yeah, I know it's not IT Band Syndrome. It could not be further away from where the IT Band attaches.
