This is normally caused by soft cartilage tissue, over training, and not resting or taking a day off, it can be fair wear and tear, if you do it for many years. Could also be a bad diet, women especially need extra calcium and Iron, because of menses and are more prone to osteoporosis and the loss of bone density.pennant wrote:i go jogging about 2 to 3 times a week,

hi, have stopped jogging for 1 year, but recently i sign up for a 15km run (which i completed 2 weeks ago) i train for 2months for the run, starting with 2km then 5km, then 8km. i run about 3times a week, mostly during 11pm to midnight. the pain is not a sharp pain, it comes when i reach abt 10km... but i seem to be able to run it off...akhild wrote:wats the state of ur body? r u in good shape?

wearing a guard and taking painkillers/NSAIDs won't do you any good in the long run.
you need to switch to lower impact sports for some time and learn how to tape them and what exercises to do to strengthen them back into place.
you can gradually get back to running after that. also, like ksl said, you need the right shoes. good running shoes are not always cheap either... but a worthy investment.
try that shoe store in funan center - can't remember what it's called, but they sell lotsa sports shoes and have regular runs.
btw, you've not mentioned your age or health profile and i've not physically manipulated your legs, so take what i've said with a pinch of salt - go see a doctor to be sure.
