I recently started walking/jogging/running 4 miles a day…good old New Year’s resolution…and now I have a pinching type pain on the mid to lower part of the outside of my knee. I don’t think this is the runner’s knee that I’ve been reading about. Is it just a kind of arthritis pain or maybe I tweaked it a bit or what? Is there a brace I could wear? What about those joint things that people wear with the little gel packs in them? Obviously I am so not an athlete and never was, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Ouch. Shame. You have two options :
Option 1. Wear a knee guard, you can get them at your local
pharmacy, they basically just strap your knee and
reduce impact. When you get home, place an ice
pack on it for 20mins, then take it off for 20mins,
and put it back on for 20mins. Rub a muscle gell
on it before you go to bed. It could just be for
the first few weeks. If you push on certain points
around your ankle and the pain shoots upward, then
you’ve got shinsplints, and the ice pack thing will help.
If the problem persists, see a doctor please
Option 2. Stop running
