Nope. The physio's initial thought (back at the beginning of Nov) was stress fracture, so I saw a sports doctor and had an MRI which showed some evidence of bone stress (what you get before it becomes a stress fracture) but I was very low on the scale. Followed advice and took calcuim and vit D supplements, rested and then did physio exercises.
I think it might be something in my hip that's pulling the knee out, or possibly something to do with the sciatic nerve as I sometimes get a dull ache (that's not muscle tiredness) in my calf, as well as other pains around my knee.
I foam rolled my legs today and couldn't find any tightness in ITB, quads, glutes or calfs so at least that's one good thing!

No marathon for me this April. The knee pain I thought was a thing of the past came back when running on Monday evening after about 5k. This after a week of no running (but plenty of skiing) and plenty of looking after my legs - stretching and rolling.
Pretty pissed off as I've followed all the advice I've been given by the physio & sports doctor. At least I know from the MRI that there is nothing physically wrong with the joint itself. Silver linings - ish.
Better withdraw my place :(
