My left knee was a bit sore on Sunday, and very sore by Sunday night and early Monday. Ice and ibuprofen were my only resolutions for then. I went to the gym on Tuesday to attempt to run but was promptly reduced to a slow pace on the treadmill. With each step, excruciating pain. It would have to be a week of rest. On Wednesday, Lori and I walked 2 miles &#8211; it was cold and my knee was again not up to it. Time to call the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>I saw the good doctor (she is a tri-athlete). and a good bit of feeling my knee and a few digital x-rays later, she had her diagnosis. <a href=\"http:\/\/physicaltherapy.about.com\/od\/orthopedicsandpt\/p\/PatellaBursitis.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Pes bursitis<\/a> or pes tendonitis. Something about the bursis getting inflamed by the rubbing when I run. So, she shot me up with cortisone, fitted me with a strap to keep the kneecap in place, and put me on high-dose anti-inflammatory drugs. If this doesn&#8217;t work, I will be back for other stuff on Friday. I am attempting to run on the treadmill tomorrow (maybe 4 miles), then see how the knee feels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week after the almost 14 mile run, pain set in.
