With runner's knee, the knee pain feels worse after running downhill or walking downstairs. You may experience swelling and inflammation and hear clicking or popping sounds when moving the knee as the knee cap is off track. Sitting for long periods of time will aggravate the condition.

Until next month, keep running, smiling and be happy, healthy and peaceful!

With love and peace,

Jackie
