    I had a bike accident and have broken the ball at the top of my humerus in several places. This happened a month ago and I'm told I don't need surgery, just to wait for it to heal naturally. I'm used to running 30-40km a week so having to stop is really difficult, mentally and physically. If...

    I am 17 and run track and cross country. Recently during my training after running about 2 miles I have a visual disturbance. Each time it occurs it starts out as 2 round spots on the right and 2 on the left. As it progresses both sets of spots merge into hourglass shapes before disappearing...

    Hello runners I am writing to you at my wits end. I have suffered with recurring itbs for the last 15 years. I was a competitive runner as a teenager and then suffered a silly football injury at 17 having a kick about that knocked my knee and hip inwards. Since then I haven't been able to...

    I'm running the Edinburgh half at the end of May for charity and I have had nothing but issues since end on Jan with shin splints. I had to stop training at 5k as the pain has got so bad I needed complete rest. I've been seen by a podiatrist who fitted me with orthotic insoles, a chiropractor...

    I am a 20 year old runner who has been experiencing lateral knee pain for about 3 months. It is a deep aching pain on the outside of both my knees - feels like its on the bone (although it hurts my right knee more). It does not seem to fit the diagnoses of ITBS as it doesn't worsen when going...

    I'm in the best running form that I have been for maybe 15 years, and after some over enthusiasm in February resulting in a stress fracture am on track for a good marathon at the Gold Coast in Australia on 4 July. But . . . due to my own stupid fault, I waited for it to warm up before my...

    I've got some pain in my heel/ankle - back of the calcaneus and under the lateral malleolus. It's quite a dull pain and quite "deep". I'm not sure if it's bone or soft tissue. Has anybody experienced anything similar to this? Thanks!!

    At the end of December 2020 I pulled my Soleus on a 5 mile run I’d done a hundred times before. I think it was pretty bad as I couldn’t even walk and needed to be picked up by the family taxi. It took a few days before I could walk again, it still hurt, but I could walk. Everything I read...

    Hi All, I've never really gone for runs as I've always been active playing football, but since I can't do that at the moment I thought I'd try running. Not long after I've set off, my inner thighs start to itch to the point I have to try rubbing them. This sensation gets worse to the point I...

    Last year I suffered a calf injury and not being able to run was so frustrating. It impacted my mood and took me further away from my goal. Being injury free is good for my physical and mental health. It allows me to train more frequently, helps my sleep and impacts on my eating habits...

    Hi there, I've been training for a few months now ahead of the London Marathon which may or may not go ahead in October. So far I am up to 14 miles max distance. Today I went out for a pretty standard slow and steady 12 miles and I barely got 2 miles in before I had to stop and walk back home...

    Hi, I got bad shin splints going up through early December until after one run I could barely put any weight on my right leg, my shin hurt so bad. I had a bad limp for a few weeks. Went to doc and they did the tuning fork test but it caused no pain, so no SFX. But I did not get an MRI or bone...

    Hello! I am training for the Brighton Marathon at the moment. Before Christmas I got Achilles Tendonitis which is affecting my ankle. It is really mild and only causes discomfort when I walk down stairs. My ankle is stiff when I run but I can run. I took two weeks off running over Christmas as...
