Do you remember Sharkie’s blogs on her popliteus? Any chance it could be that? sportsinjuryclinic.net

It’s certainly that sort of area - but so intermittent it’s weird. There’s no tender spots anywhere and it’ll be fine for a few hours - I can stand up, sit down move around and nothing and then suddenly it’s like smeone has stabbed me for five minutes. |

That’s what made me think it might be something only used with specific movements - I had a painful shoulder which only kicked in when the shoulder was fully rotated “Popliteus muscle strain causes pain at the back of the knee in the fold of your leg, that ranges from mild to severe. Walking downhill or extensive running will increase pain. Standing on a slightly bent knee or rotating the knee may increase your pain. Some people may experience a cracking sound from the muscle/tendon when moved or touched. You may feel that your injured knee may give way under stress or may lock or catch. Chronic popliteus muscle strain will produce pain first thing in the morning. For runners with a chronic popliteus condition, they will have pain at the beginning of a run. The pain slowly subsides during the run, as your increased heart rate, activity, and blood flow help reduce inflammation in the popliteus muscle” |

Thanks, Dipps - it could well be. Have stuck a neuofen plaster to the back of the knee for overnight, to see if that helps. Will do some reading. |

Ooh, I had that. Tenderness and swelling behind the knee/top of calf. That was a bursitis of the popliteal muscle/tendon? It went away with ice, raised leg, lots of rest, no weight bearing (minimal) after about 10 days - 2 weeks. Actually went to GP about it and that's all they advised. It worked though. Good luck Rh.

(Had to check back - popliteal cyst / bursitis? 27 Feb - 18 Mar 2012 - good old Fetch training log. Just ice, elevation and rest.)

(Actually, looks like it was end Mar before could run properly. I can give you everything I did from detection to diagnosis to return to running Rh, if it's any use. I won't put it in here, can send as fmail, if useful though.)
