I have been trying to get more mobile so been walking a lot more and decided to give couch to 5k a try.
On the 4th day while jogging along I was getting sharp pain in both knees. I tried to push on but couldn't so I stopped and walked instead. A week later I have bad pain in both knees. When I walk. When I take stairs. When I sit down. When I stand up. The left knee is the worst. It feels unstable and there is a sharp pain roughly at the inside of the knee when I move. I have been following RICE treatment and it hasn't shifted. An initial google made me think that it was runners knee but as it's still on going a week later I'm wondering if it's something else. Any help or advice appreciated.
Have you had knee replacement surgery? Most of the people on here are post surgery, or going to have surgery. However....if you haven't had surgery....I would be seen by a doc. Have an X-ray or MRI to see what the problem is. Especially if nothing is helping. You said you went from the couch to running. Could be it was just too much at once. Walk before running. My advice is see your doc. Good luck. Hope it just needs rest.
