Don’t let runner’s knee get in the way of your goals.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome got its nickname as “runner’s knee” for an obvious and very unfortunate reason: It’s most common among runners.
, M.D., a sports medicine physician at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City and creator ofPFPS can affect one or both knees, and it strikes mostly younger, recreational runners and twice as many women as men, according to the Worn cartilage in the knee joint that reduces shock absorption, highly-arched or flat feet, or knees that turn in or out excessively and pull the patella sideways are among other biomechanical reasons runner’s knee happens, according to Metzl.
At the first sign of pain, cut back your mileage. The sooner you lessen the knee’s workload, the faster healing of runner’s knee begins. Outside of running, avoid knee-bending activities, slanted surfaces, and downward stairs and slopes until the pain subsides.As you rebuild mileage, use a smaller stride on hills and ice your knee for about 15 minutes after each run, Metzl says.
