I recently tore a ligament in my right knee and I can no longer run like I used to. It came from wearing bad running shoes for a period of time. Now I can no longer run for exercise like I used to for years on end, I used to love it and of course got a natural high from it. It ws what helped me control my mental stability, emotions, weight, health, and happiness in/with life. Now all I can do is walk and I even have to take that easy. I am very upset with this and I miss running so badly. Today I was thinking back on the joys of my daily runs and how good those burns felt and the feeling of accomplishment thereafter, along with the pleasurable high that followed after. I miss it bad. I wish I could run again so much.
Feedback would be apprecitated, and please no jerks with their smart aleck comments

That sucks. I'm always afraid that is going to happen to me someday. I guess it eventually does, and I'm not necessarily scared of it, because at least I'm using my body to the fullest. I guess what I'm saying is, remember all the good runs you've done, and be happy THAT you have done them. Some people never feel quite like that, and hopefully you will heal marginally, enough to have fun. Get physical therapy, or at least an opinion. Also consider other sports, such as swimming.

Ouch! Well, you've admitted to doing it to yourself. Your bed has bed made and now you must lie upon it. Look for other forms that cause you ventilate. Like upper body developement that can be done sitting down.

I am sorry that you are suffering like this, but thank you for sharing this information... I am going to go get proper running shoes for my husband and myself. I hope you have a safe and happy holiday.

Have you tried biking?
its a lot less stress on your legs, and you still get to go outdoors and get fresh air. I did it when I sprained an ankle a couple years ago, and I still do for cross training.
