A member asked:
I've been having recurring knee pain during and after running over the last several years. It mostly flares up when I haven't run in a while, and then once I'm back in a running routine it will often go away. That being said I've been meaning to get it checked out for a while and my health coach recommended I reach out about possible telehealth. Knee pain?
