Hi,
Don't know i this is too trivial a question but thought I may as well ask. I had a long term illness (M.E) and have now pretty much recovered and partly to aid recovery have been gradually been building up exercise. I overdid it jogging one day and my right knee really hurt, around the top and inside. I stopped exercise immediately and the pain is now gone but it clicks loudly all the time when walking or moving. It's been about three weeks now and there's no change. It doesn't hurt any more and I have been doing other exercise and its been fine. I haven't tried to run again yet because when I did a week after the pain had gone it immediately started hurting again. Is clicking a problem if it doesn't hurt? What could this be caused by?

The other thing, which I thought could be related is after walking for, say an hour, I sometimes get these weird leg pains ,mainly in my calves but sometimes my thighs as well. I don't know quite how to describe them, they feel like they are right inside the leg, sort of a deep ache. I always thought it was just an M.E thing, as you get a whole load of random symptoms but my friend who also has M.E just found out that her leg pains were caused by one of her legs being shorter than the other. She has now been proscribed special insoles.

Now that I am finally recovering after 15 years I am desperate to carry on exercising and get my body stronger. I particularly like running, even though I know its hard on the joints - its free and easy to motivate myself to do- so would really like to go back to it soon if possible.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this - Any thoughts?
