Is it wise to be running when you've just got that diagnosis? Don't intend to come across arsey, but surely you want to give yourself every chance of recovery.
Fair point, I'm not running at the moment and I haven't for a long time. Annoyingly I was planning to gently get back into running on the very week that I suffered the injury that prompted these scans (I sprained my medial collateral ligament running for a bus). I was planning to get back into running because I feared that doing lots of cycling and no running was making my knees unbalanced and weak in terms of supporting themselves. I was considering trying barefoot running as I'm quite a flat-footed runner and a heavy heel-striker, which I think could account for some of the hammer that my knees have taken.
