[@markopolo_]

Im on my 5th day since I started feeling "pain" in my knee and everyday it feels like its not getting any better. I got this when I ran beyond my limits (Im new to running and did high mileage too early and thought that this pain will go away by tomorrow). I can walk but not how I normally walk and there's a bit of pain when I do. There is no swelling but I feel like it will swell in the coming days (hopefully not). Now I wonder what should I do to help fasten the recovery. I cannot get this checked up because of Covid status in our country but I'm fairly sure that this is Pes anserine bursitis based on my research and diagnosis. Thanks!

[@GM-ke7kf]

I had very bad knee pain for three weeks with no known injury. After doing the stretches and exercises one time, my knee improved. Since the first time, I have done them every other day three more times. My knee feels almost healed. Thank you so much Doctor Jo!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome!

[@AonGuardian]

I over-ran myself into knee pain that was difficult to localize for a couple weeks. Tried stretching and found some information that pointed me in the direction of my quads, hams, IT muscle, and especially my glutes being weak and needing stretching with strengthening. After a running hiatus, the pain was able to be localized to precisely where the pes anserinus bursa is located. This made sense since this area involved the neglected muscles that involved this point. Thank you so much for this information as It definitely has helped me focus on recovery and general strengthening as I needed!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! Good luck.

[@verxtily6336]

Have u gotten better?

[@AonGuardian]

@@verxtily6336 yes, very much better. It was a gradual recovery. Stretches allowed for controlled, gentle strengthening exercises for 1-2 weeks. Walking was covered on the job (~10k steps/shift). Light jog was introduced cautiously. Overall, it took about 4 weeks for my knee to allow light jogging in small bursts. Currently, I’m conditioning like it never happened. These stretches definitely helped.

[@monicavava]

Hey Doctor Jo, just wanted to check in after a week of doing all your stretches and strengthening exercises for a week and say THANK YOU! It’s the most improvement I have felt in the past 7 weeks 😩 Thanks for making a difference.

Can we start with the exercises and make the stretching after or it has to be in the order you do in the video? Thanks a lot
