i have a knee injury from running i guess, and now i cant run at all :( i would go to the doctor. but my knee doesnt hurt when i touch it, so they really wouldnt be able to do anything about it. it doesnt hurt that much when i walk or anything, just horrible when i run. so im wondering is it safe to do the elliptical or bike while i cant run? will this slow down my recovery? i want to eventually run alot again..
 
I would say rest it. Probably just strained a ligament or w/e. Or you can freak out like everyone else and pay doctors lots of money to prescribe you advil.
 
I would strongly recommend resting it and at the most, stretching it twice a day to aid in the recovery and preventing stiffness.
 
it doesn't matter if you can't feel it unless you run. the doctors can still prescribe you stuff that will speed up the recovery. a knee injury isn't something you just ignore willy nilly. the doctors first need to diagnose the injury because there's a chance you aren't healing at all.
