I have been running 2 1/2 miles every day on grass for the last 20 years.I recently went on vacation and did the same at Hilton Head,ran every day except it was on pavement. When vacation was over with I did my usual routines and started noticing that after cutting up some old tress and brush and I was sweating profusely (which I normally do anyway ) my legs started aching like I had run a marathon.It got progressively worse for the last 6 weeks and now I can only walk 2 miles.I have tried not taking my Pravastatin drug but I'm not sure this is making a big difference.
Are there supplements that I could take to promote muscle/ligament healing ? I'm 52 ,I don't smoke or drink and my weight is normal.I've had lower back pain on and off all my life but my back is doing fairly well now.I've been to my family doctor about this and I suggested maybe an MRI but he's not big on a lot of testing.He said it was the next step to surgery in order to get that done.
My right knee is very stiff .It almost feels like I'm getting arthritis in it. All this happened within 5 days.
