| speedy: | Try icing your knee 3-4 times a day for 10-15 minutes (no more than 15 minutes). At least you'll be able walk up/down stairs :)
My left knee hurts since last December and right one also got some bad signs. I tried to rest for couple weeks (maybe it wasn't enough), but it didn't show any improvements, so, I decided to keep running. Not a good decision, but I'm too old and still too young to worry about it. Take your time and don't rush. |

| Acampbell: | I'll try that thanks!

| hkleaf: | What about x-training? If running makes your knee hurt, perhaps biking or some other forms of cardio training would be ok? It's not the same as running, I know, but it will keep you active and maintain a certain level of fitness.
Having said all that. Rest (and ice) is still a better choice, esp. in the week or two immediately after the injury. Hope you'll feel better soon. |

| Anna: | If you're looking for something that will have ZERO negative effects on your knee, swimming with a floatie between your legs is a good choice. If you don't know how long you'll be out, it's especially important to cross-train. |
