I am just getting back into running (jogging really) after 2 ACL/Meniscus surgeries in the last 15 months. Like you Catrin, I'm finding that my body hurts more than my lungs which is actually sort-of a nice surprise. Patellar Tendon and TFL pain on the surgical side are the issue. A tendon strap was a HUGE help, as well as massaging the TFL while jogging. It appears that the medial quadracep muscle is very weak and causing my foot to rotate out to the right (duck foot) irritating the TFL and pulling the patella to the outside. Bottom line, long slow process and taking it easy with a break or a brisk walk other day is helping rather than hurting.
Cheers and Tally Ho!
