Having physio and then having an injection (what of I have no idea) in my knee and then see how that goes over the next couple of months

The pain was so bad that my knee would just buckle underneath me, it was awful I tried everything, physio, massage, acupuncture, foam roller, ibuprofen, strapping, chi running, different shoes etc etc. After much resistance, I got some orthotics, as suggested by my sports massage therapist and now I can run pretty much pain free
