What to do while dealing with runners knee (lemmy.one)

Basically, I took on too many miles too quick. And boom knee pain even when walking now. I don't want to stop moving entirely, but I'm just not sure what I should be during this downtime. I'm pretty new to running so only been doing it for about 2 weeks and I'm a little heavier, so it probably beat my legs up. But I love running and don't want to give it up.

I guess technically, yeah, but it’s the immune systems response to an injury or virus/bacteria. If you can reduce the inflammation, the immune system is still working, you’re just in less pain. Plus, if it’s in/on/around a tendon/bursa, inflammation is just going to continue the issue/pressure. Again, not a doc, just deal with this shit a lot, over MANY systems in my stupid body
Yeah that’s why I recommended low impact activities like swimming.
Not sure what you’re trying to say. Sorry.

Also, the A in MEAT is analgesics, so not really sure why you singled out nor taking ibuprofen, as it’s part of the recovery process you’re recommending.
