Title: Running Problem
Post by: Simon on September 01, 2010, 11:20:25 PM

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 :P 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

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
