I visited my sports doctor today to go over the pain in my surgical knee when running.
Apparently the pain in my knee from running is from the kneecap not tracking properly and it's from both a tight IT Band and a weaker Inner quad muscle. The good news is that it's nothing to worry about. He recommended 3 things:
- hitting the foam roller every day to smooth out the IT band
- more strength training for my inner quad.
- wear a knee sleeve during sports to help the kneecap track better.
He also mentioned my surgical acl is slightly looser than my normal knee but that it's still perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. The surgeon tries his best to make it match the other leg, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way.
