Thanks Chris,
I'll get into the exercises. I am going a little nuts not being able to run and the physio said I was OK boxing since I'd taken 2 months off everything but swimming when I first started seeing him and that was about 3 months ago - so i hope I don't have to stop again. If I can't run or box then I'll really turn into a grumpy B***H!

Although I'm not sure my problem is inflammatory as they couldn't see any fluid in the knee in the ultrasound and they were pretty thorough. The nurse who did it even brought her boss in to confirm the fact they couldn't find anything. She was very apologetic which I hope doesn't mean the alternative possible causes are bad.

So Scrap and MD - do you think I should ask to be tested with a cybex? I've got an appointment this week so if I know what to ask for hopefully it'll be sorted soonish. Thanks for your help
