Quote "Running 10 miles or a marathon is not a normal activity. You are asking your body to take on a terrific burden by participating in these activities. On top of asking your body to do some un-natural activities (running 20 miles is NOT natural), many patients spend the rest of their day at a desk. Then they set aside an hour or two to cram all their physical activity into the late afternoon.
Don't get me wrong...distance running and other activities that cause chondromalacia are great for the body. The benefits to the heart, lungs, etc. far outweigh the knee pain of chondromalacia. But be understanding of the limits of your body. It is not abnormal for your body to develop symptoms of chondromalacia if you are a distance runner!

Just went to see the doc at UHWC. Told me that I have chondromalacia , aka the runner's knee. And the recommended treatment is not to do any activity that may strain the joint, including walking, climbing, running etc. Which is practically impossible for me to do so. And the recovery time is expected to be several weeks to several months... Kaoz... Though not the first time I got this, but still.. the previous time was when I was 17, and it took me 4months to recover. It seems that there's no 2 way about this situation. I may just have to reluctantly sell away the registration. There's always another day to do it...
