I kneeded that

After three days of no running and a fair bit of stretching and massage my knee felt a lot better today. But then the old twinges in the upper thigh were back. So I think somehow it is all tied in together -- left lumbar, down into rear thigh, into knee, and then even the achilles in that leg is a little tender. Meanwhile the right leg feels like it is made of solid titanium. Anyway, I took myself off on the regular Wednesday routine of sento and then...whatever. I decided to just run easy in the park. I was going to be happy if I got in 5 km, but in the end managed ana easy 10 or 11. The knee did get a bit sore (it is kind of a dull generalised ache rather than an acute pain) towards the end. But I was encouraged to think that if I just continue to rest it and run every two or three days, with stretching and massage, it might come good.

Sounds like you are on to something with that 'easy does it' approach. Have you seen anyone (eg physio) about it?
