Experiencing symptoms of runners knee? Let me tell you my story. I am a young, healthy individual who enjoys outdoor activities like jogging, running, and marathons. When I stay active, I am able to relax and clear my head. So, I just about went crazy when I developed Runner's Knee.

I usually run every day, and once in a while I will compete or run marathons. Last summer, I had some serious pain in my right knee. So I went to see the doctor, who told me that I would need to stop running while I was in this condition. I could've slapped him.

Normally, the joints in your knee glide smoothly against cartilage in the knee. With Runner's Knee, the knee rubs against the joints and can cause some intense pain. That's what I had to put up with, and let me just say that it's no fun at all.

So I armed myself with a book, a bottle of Vicodin, and started keeping the couch company. This absolutely drove me insane! I wanted to get up and run, but my Runner's Knee wasn't going to let me do that 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. Reading the encyclopedia from cover to cover is impossible.

God actually created heating pads to heal the whole world. There's still nothing to watch, no matter how many thousands of channels you have. Thank heavens my knee finally got better, and now I can run 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.
