Here's my deal. I tore the ACL in my left knee 6 years ago and so recently, as I've been having some discomfort with it, I've been wearing a brace when running long distances or on hard surfaces.
One month ago I ran a half marathon with the brace and while my left knee was fine, after the race my RIGHT knee was in pain. I thought it just was because of the race, but every time I've run since then my right knee has been in pain. From what I've read it looks like runner's knee, probably brought on because I overcompensated with my right knee since I had a brace on my left knee.
I'm just wondering when I should start getting concerned about it. I've been icing it after I run and wearing an Ace bandage while running, but it's getting worse. I did a 3.5 mile run today and now it's hurting worse than ever. Who here has had this issue and how did you keep running with the problem? Also, at what point should I seek medical attention?
