Experiencing symptoms of runners knee? Let me tell you my story. I'm a young and healthy person who likes running, jogging, marathons, and other outdoor activities. Running and similar activities lets me relax and clear my head. So, when I developed Runner's Knee, I just about lost my mind.

I almost always run every day, and sometimes I'll compete or run marathons. Last summer, I had some serious pain in my right knee. I almost slapped the doc when he told me that because of my condition, I would have to stop running for a while.

There are joints in your knee that glide smoothly against cartilage in the knee itself. But when you get Runner's Knee, the joints rub up against the knee and causes terrible pain. That's what I had to put up with, and let me just say that it's no fun at all.

I got myself a book, a bottle of Vicodin, and tried to get friendly with my couch. It wasn't long before I went nuts! I wanted to be active, but my Runner's knee was all ran out for a while.

Here is what I discovered to keep myself sane. There are only so many things you can purchase from infomercials before you realize that none of them work! There is a reality TV show for every single situation in life you could ever dream of. It really is impossible to read the encyclopedia.

Heating pads were in fact sent from God to heal the world. And no matter how many thousands of channels you have, there's still nothing to watch. But my knee got better, and now I'm up and running again. I can only think of that few weeks of my life as 'Hell Week!' Well, I'm off for a run! Talk to you soon.
