    -when sitting at a desk for example I will feel a "pulsing" and or
    "throbbing" it's random...within my knee. nothing surrounding the
    patella, and I sense it's my MCL & medial meniscus. which one is more
    likely to pulse/throb? any one more than another? added info, i can do
    a complete knee bend w/no pain. to my knowledge the medial meniscus
    contain very little blood...and hence i am more thinking the ligament
    is the more likely suspect of the two.

    -Friday I went to my gym and used the abductor & adductor machines. I
    had to work my legs to keep them "race ready" and this was the only
    thing I could do that did not involve bending of the knee at all in
    anyway. I did this again this Saturday morning and having had not run
    in 5 I looked at the treadmills and simply wanted to move again like a
    runner...so I got on one just for a "look-and-see"....not a workout.

    -I cranked the machine to the max, level 10, 6 min/mi. pace, kept it
    flat. I ran 1 mile and no more, wore my Cho-Pat Double ITB brace. it
    felt GREAT. smooth...both toe/ball striking and midsole striking. So
    here's what I am thinking, I don't believe I have a tear of any of the
    mensci because I can run 100% pain free for at least 1 mile w/those
    settings/conditions. Valid? And this pulsing / throbbing is a positive
    sign of recovery? that's what's got me concerned...the throbbing
    sorness on the inside of the knee...right in that MCL & medial
    meniscus.

    i'm hoping some of you have had this and simply not ran for several
    days and had it subside....as opposed to thinking i'm a "no go" for
    certain for this nyc marathon in a week. that treadmill experience
    has me hopeful...but it was only 6 min of running and on a t-mill...not
    3 hours of road....

    thanks for your 2 cents. in the back of my mind i'm thinking if just
    3-4 more days off doesn't resolve the throbbing & pulsing in that
    region and i actually have to go to a sports doc for x-rays...well that
    in itself is a case for being a "no go" to race 26.2 in a week.

    forgot to mention, the only thing that feels "straining" in simple
    movement is this.

    1.standing feet flat still, twisting at the waist (torso) to my right
    thereby stretching/expanding the muscles/ligaments from my left inner
    knee-thigh-groin region. that causes sore in the mcl-medial meniscus
    region...not pain but soreness.

    thanks again

    Nobody here is going to be able to tell you what this is. Not even an
    orthopedist could diagnose it without seeing you.
