Knee strap & "Runners Knee"
I've "runners knee" that has recently improved so much that I've been able to do some short sprinting, and it's felt better than it has in years. Then Saturday I had a little fall on the trail (rear tire slipped in some deep dust) and bumped my knee pretty well - aggravating this condition :mad: :o
Things are feeling much better, but I want to give my knee some additional support between now and my vacation. While the pain is mostly gone, I can tell that there is still some inflammation in the knee when I walk down steps. I like the look of something like this and don't think I need something like this.
Has anyone successfully used the more simple knee strap for patella problems? It isn't as bad as the last time I aggravated it, just trying to support it while continuing my activities at a lower intensity level - and I've scheduled more rest days this week than normal which will also help.
