We've been coaching a guy who lives about 30 miles east of Atlanta and has a knee issue. He's been hesitant to see someone but this won't go away. Got hurt on hilly trail 30 k race.
We took a week off, pain went away, now it's back. He's able to run on it but not whenever he does workouts, it's not so great.
Email me
or post here.
I'll send him this link and see if he can post his symptoms.
He tried to post what his symptoms were but is having computer problems so here is what he asked me to post:
my guy wrote:
I suspect lateral meniscus and want to go to PT next week to see if we can resolve.
Symptoms: jogging is fine. I can handle short strides fine. Trying to hold anything faster than a jog for anything longer than a stride my knee first starts to feel a little unstable, then it twinges, then it’s a sharp pain and I have to pull up and stop. Then the rest of the day it will hurt to bend it or press any weight through it (walking, stairs, etc.). I describe it as “locking up.” Day off and I can jog again no problem.
Pain is on outside of knee right where that joint comes together and pressing on it will cause the pain. Ibuprofen seems to mask the worst of the pain. .

Knows running better than you do.
The thread title does not say what you think it says.
Sorry, I only understand running near Savannah. Running near Atlanta is a completely different animal of which I have no understanding.
Josh glass is the usatf chiro. He is very good.
PT - gotta go see precision performance and physical therapy. They don’t take insurance though but will give you 60-120min at an appointment.
There is a grammar error in the title, but I forgot what it’s called. Who cares if the PT knows what it’s like running near Atlanta?
Tell him (or her?!?!?) I will give him (or her inshallah) massage if he shows up at the corner of Highland and Sampson at 6pm on Tuesday.
Also, I am screenshotting my posts, if Rojo deletes it I will report it as a hate crime.
It’s just a misplaced modifier. It won’t hurt you and the meaning is clear from the context. Rojo is always in a hurry.

Do you think it could be IT band syndrome? That's the most common cause of pain on the outside of the knee. Usually does ok running faster though
Avoid cantered surfaces and rigid slanted running shoes.
Use ice to promote healing, and check this guy's videos on Youtube.
I had similar issues (meniscus) after running and training for a couple of marathons in high school. These absolutely solved the problem for me:

Still wear one today (40 years later) and compete at an elite level. Just won my age group in the Honolulu Marathon by over a mile a minute :)
Josh Glass for sure. I thought my running career was over with a long-term injury, but he fixed me in about a week. Plus it's fun to see who else is in the waiting room. Sometimes I'm the only one without an Olympic medal (sprinters and jumpers).
