Thanks for the gel I've been using it and I do find it soothing. I haven't done much running so some of my symptoms have started to settle down a little e.g. knees not a tender.

I went out for a run/walk today. I used the gel before I went out and when I got back. There was some pain in my right knee and my left hip but I still enjoyed my run.

Over the past few weeks we have treated people who have taken pain killers to carry on sporting activities. please Don't do this it causes lasting problems

I have been having exactly the same problems as you have. My advice is if you do not seem to be getting any better change your Physio or Pod. I first went to a Sports Massage with a tight ITB this helped but only short term. Then went to a Physio, who didn't listen to what I was saying, told me my Achilles was about to explode and connected my buttocks to electrodes (I know some men pay good money for that ;-) ).

Finally went to the Sports Physio linked to Histon Football Club, discovered I had a short left leg and a rotated right pelvis. Two sessions of manipulation and i am running pain free for the first time in 12 months.

As Renedial & sports therapist It's important to listen to your client & work with them people come to our clinic having seen numerous people and 12 months down the line no improvement has been made. The problem when we have assessed it and worked with the client is usualy very simple and we have it sorted in weeks. The problem is i feel intead of being humble enough to listen to the client many proffesionals become so academic they miss the simple answers to the injury problems and go around in circles using all sort of fancy electrical didgets intead of using a more hands on approach, Don't get me wrong there is a place for the likes of ultrasound ect but when you use your hands you can do so much more.
