I shared my "secret" with Caroline when she was having pain, but I have this awesome lady in Rancho that has literally solved all my knee pain issues. I went through the whole gammet - my GP, a 2nd GP after I fired him for telling me to stop running, xrays, physical therapy, accupuncture, MRI - all with no diagnosis. I started seeing Dr. Jenn for trigger point therapy in mid-2011 and have run 9 halfs since - almost all of them with no pain. She has pretty much narrowed my issue down to other muscles being tight- my psoas - deep in the hip was the main factor but also tight hamstrings and recently an inflammed sciattica causing pain down my shin and into my toes. So it wasn't really my knees at all - but I did work on strenghtening exercises as directed by PT. She is amazing and for $25 a session - I've given up my regular massages in favor of her treatments. If you are interested in checking her out she is at Bellwood Wellness - connected to Bellwood Chiropractic at Haven and Arrow.<br /><br />I hope you find a solution soon.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000228133919099421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822096984973552912.post-3811745960165016492012-10-03T12:25:29.842-07:002012-10-03T12:25:29.842-07:00oh I so sorry to read this.....but I do think it i...oh I so sorry to read this.....but I do think it is best to not go back on the injury list like you were before...the Beach Cities Challenge will always be there. you can start with the next race and finish at LB 2013.

My leg seems to be getting better with PT (knock on wood), and I find doing a few miles really slowly for warm up (like 12:00 miles) helps warm my shin up and makes recovery a lot quicker. The huge indicator for me is the next morning. My X-rays were clean and my doc thought it could be tibial tendinitis and says no more than 3x a week, and lots of calf stretching to help the calf from pulling on the shin. I still have the painful spot to touch, but it is less painful. I'm blabbing, but I feel your pain and know it's stressful to have to sit out all the while not knowing how to help itChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530176467893350352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822096984973552912.post-79822542240676212012012-10-03T09:48:32.269-07:002012-10-03T09:48:32.269-07:00Wicked hard decision- especially because you have ...Wicked hard decision- especially because you have to make it yourself with no known information. <br /><br />Hope you are feeling better soon, regardless, so you can get back out there.
