What's wrong with my knee...?
Discussion
I think my running career is a bit over
For about six weeks now, I've had a weird knee thing (much worse on the left but noticeable on the right too). What happens is if I stay in one position too long, it sort of stiffens up and is very sore at the back of my knee when I try and move it. I can walk it off in a few steps but I think it's getting worse. Also, impact hurts in a sort of dull pain way. Anyone got an idea what it might be so I can do some reading?

Interesting...
How would I describe my running habits? Um, used to be frequent, then crashed my motorbike and that knocked me out for about 6 months. Ran on and off (but not in any organised 'training' sense over 2011 and tried to get back into a regular 3 x 5k a few months ago. Mostly ok whilst running but it's the sitting about that sucks.
In addition, I do a lot of wakeboarding and snow ski pretty hard so wondered if the impact thing might be to blame. With that said, I was speaking to a pal earlier who reckons I've done a hamstring or something and it's just presenting in a weird way. I'll admit there's a sort of a feeling of tightness up the back of my leg so could it be that??
