Running Problem

[Simon]

Hi everyone,

Ok straight to the point, i've been running for a little while now and i've been having the same problem everytime, while im running my knee randomly locks straight and will not bend!

(Yes i have learned how to unlock it quick enough to stay up but its still very annoying!)

I used to have that problem when skating vert ramps, alot more scary when it happens then but I started to wear a really really tight bandage type thing around my knee. Due to the amount of pressure I had to use to bend my knee it built up muscle or something round the knee (this is what I think happened) and it just got better
Hope this helps

When your knee locks is if due to pain or are you physically unable to bend it

Either way I think you should seek medical advice as this shouldn't happen

Thanks for all the help!

an when it locks, it isnt painful it just scares me to be honest! But then again i am running on stilts...

I have heard of a kneecap problem that can cause that so get the doc to check you don't want it to stay that way
