Hey guys, I have a problem with my knee and I was looking to see if any of you had some advice before going to see a doctor.
On January 3rd, I was running on the track and the outer side of my left knee just started to hurt like a bitch so much so that I had to stop running, and the pain persisted through walking up until a few hrs later after icing it down.
I read that it would be wise to give it a break so I didn't quit working out, but I did exercises that did not have high knee impact (biking, etc) and it was all fine. I took a two week break from running and then I tried it again. I got the knee pain again, but it wasn't as awful as the first time I had it.
Today, I was going to the gym and just as I was getting changed my knee started aching just like the first time it happened and I didn't even bother trying to work out.
I work out twice a day, 5 times a week rotating between bike, elliptical, incline treadmill, and running on the track.
Do you guys think this is something stemming from over working out or should I go see my doctor immediately. I never get the pain unless I work out, but today it was scary cause I worked out in the morning and then going back to the gym I didnt even make it to do a workout. I'm afraid of messing my knee up permanently, and I was wondering if it would be wise to just take 2 weeks off completely from doing cardio or if the wisest choice would be to just see a doctor asap.
Cheers
