running blues

Go to a "running doctor" which can specialize in your
problem. Other doctors just don't understand runners. Unless
you need a knee replacement (not knowing your age), I can't
believe anybody, much less a doctor, would advise to give up
running altogether.

Good luck.

I wait before I run again or should I take up walking? I
will not go to the doctor because he will tell me to stop
running. (past experience)

Just because a doctor might tell you to stop running is no
reason not to go to one. Your doctor is going to refer you
to an orthopedist anyway. Or should.

Knee damage from yoga? That's like yawning and breaking your
skull. Face it, some folks are just cut out to read about
it, not do it.

Like that team of shrinks who are trying to figure out your
complexities?

Its much more common than you think, especially in the older
folk (over 30). You can over-do or rush any form of
exercise. People should take months to loosen up for some of
the postures.
