Hey guys, hoping someone can possibly diagnose what I might be dealing with.
Past couple days my knee has felt extremely tight and sore. Wasn't too bad the first day I noticed it, ran through it for a few days and then yesterday ran my long run. Not too much pain while running but the night after my long run it really began to ache and today it hurts like hell. Feels like when you get a big bruise on your knee, that super dull achy feeling. I wouldn't think I would have a bruise as I haven't damaged my knee in that sort of way, but that's the best way to describe the pain.
My only thoughts is maybe an IT band problem but it's really centralized in just my knee and really throbs in the kneecap region. I can barely hobble around today it hurts so bad.
Anybody know what might be up? Obviously didn't run today, rested and iced. Any ideas on the cause?
