    Hi All, I am just looking for some advice? I have just starting running hoping to run a half marathon in a few months but my problem is I have torn cartilage in my knee and have had 4 surgeries over the last 4 years so I need some advice on what's the best solution to try and prevent a knee injury. I have been wearing a neoprene support the last week I have been running but I have found I am getting pains in my knee and a very bad pain in my shin. Can someone please advise me what's the best practise to do? Wear a support, don't wear a support, tape my knee etc... Any advice would be very gratefully received. Thanks.

    Sorry but we can't give out medical advice here, from charter:
    We do not give out medical advice. Injuries may have common symptoms but are unique to the individual - just because you were able to keep training with X injury or were out for months because of Y doesn't mean that the same will apply to someone else. Bad advice given here and followed through could aggravate an injury and prevent an athlete making a full recovery in as rapid a time as possible. This restriction is Boards-wide and purposely heavy-handed. So don't feel offended if your thread about a sprained ankle (which you may deem "non-medical") gets locked.
