Hi SportRehab,

Thanks for your reply.

I've never had knee pain before although in the past I've had foot and ankle pain due to my flat feet and wear moulded orthotics for everyday wear - although these are about 5 years old now.

I play netball regularly although this year I only train once a week and play a match once a week - for the last 3 years I have been training 3 times a week during season and playing once a week. For the 4-6 weeks prior to the knee injury I was cycling a couple of 20 mile rides a week as I was supposed to be doing the London to Brighton cycle this Sunday. I don't do much running as I have persistent shin splints but if I do go I only go slowly for about 5-8 miles.

Is there anything you would recommend me doing to speed up the recovery process? I have a walking holiday in Canada in 2 and a half weeks and I really want it to be gone by then!

Thank you for your help

Naomi
