More often than not, constant stresses damage the knee if some biomechanical characteristic is off or a support muscle for the knee is weak.\u00a0 Although there is certainly an element of individual flavour to running (overstriding or punching one\u2019s feet into the ground, which are both versions of heel striking), one can see how this adds load to the knee during running. Muscle imbalances are important to examine for weak quadriceps, tight hamstrings, or underactive glutes are known to be potential instability to the knee joint and overall knee injury risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another potential factor is overtraining. Many runners, especially novice runners, tend to increase their mileage and intensity too quickly, and therefore, they do not give their joints and connective tissues time to adapt. Therefore, runners may develop overuse injuries that account for almost half of knee issues related to running.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Causes_of_Knee_Pain_After_Running\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Causes of Knee Pain After Running<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Runners_Knee_Patellofemoral_Pain_Syndrome\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

Typically associated with muscle imbalances, poor kneecap tracking, or overuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Iliotibial_Band_Syndrome_ITBS\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

Bursitis occurs when the bursae become inflamed due to overuse, compression, or a change in knee position. Bursitis will typically result in pain and swelling in the knee, especially after repetitive activity or compression. &#8211; Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis or arthritis is more common with age, but many runners will develop some arthritis after experiencing a knee injury. It can lead to chronic pain in the knee as well as stiffness\/limited motion. Symptoms of Knee Pain: Recognizing the signs and symptoms of knee pain early will reduce the risk of aggravating or injuring tissues in the knee joint. Some common symptoms are: &#8211; Dull aching pain or sharp pain that is around or behind the kneecap &#8211; Swelling or tenderness of the knee &#8211; Pain while running, particularly uphill or downhill and after running &#8211; Pain while squatting, kneeling or being seated for a long time &#8211; Clicking, grinding, and\/or instability of the knee joint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also read: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/drsiddharthaggarwal.com\/blog\/pcl-vs-acl-injuries-differences-symptoms-treatment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PCL vs ACL Injuries: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_should_you_see_a_doctor_about_your_knee_pain\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When should you see a doctor about your knee pain?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though mild knee pain generally resolves in time with some rest and self-care, there are some symptoms that indicate medical treatment is necessary. You should see a doctor if any of the following occur: &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the pain does not improve within a few days, even with rest<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have marked swelling, redness, or warmth around your knee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are having trouble walking and bearing weight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0If your knee feels unstable or gives way<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there has been a recent history of trauma to the area or if you experience a sudden, popping pain<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A medical professional can do a physical exam and obtain some imaging (X-rays or MRIs) to better understand the issue. This allows for early treatment plans to hopefully avoid chronic issues and lead to a quicker recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment_Options_for_Knee_Pain_After_Running\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment Options for Knee Pain After Running<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your treatment will depend on the issue causing your knee pain, but most likely will consist of a combination of rest, rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes. Here are some common options: &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_RICE_Protocol\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. R.I.C.E. Protocol<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Icing, Rest, Compression, and Elevation are the first steps for acute knee pain. This will help to reduce inflammation to minimize discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Physical_Therapy\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Physical Therapy<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0A physical therapist can develop a personalized program to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee, increase flexibility, and correct biomechanical faults. Some of the exercises that may be in this plan include leg-lifts, step-ups, and balance exercises. \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Strength_Training\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Strength Training<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core muscles to improve joint stability could help limit future injuries. Working squats, lunges, and resistance band exercise into your routine will be beneficial. \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Footwear_Changes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Footwear Changes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Wearing the correct running shoes is important, so choose the right shoes for your foot type and running style. Check with a running store specialist if you are not sure of your foot type and running style, and most importantly, replace your shoes every 300-500 miles to benefit from adequate support and cushioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Medication\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Medication<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or the available NSAID topical gel might reduce inflammation and manage pain. However, NSAIDs should be taken only if necessary and with caution under medical supervision. \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Braces_and_Taping\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Braces and Taping<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Knee braces and\/or tape may provide support and limit strain while the knee is recovering. &#8211; Return to Running Slowly: Once the symptoms have subsided, the return to running needs to be gradual; start with non-impacting activities slowly and gradually increase your intensity and load while monitoring symptoms in case any pain returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knee pain after running is a very common obstacle, but it doesn&#8217;t have to stop you in your fitness journey.
