Knee injuries can be scary, painful, debilitating and stop you in your tracks, worrying that sport and exercises can be permanently threatened. Dr. Heather North unpacks the causes, symptoms and treatments for knee pain to offer relief and reassurance to sufferers.  The first thing many patients consider is having an MRI. The old wives tale says the more active you are, the more sports you play, especially running, that this increases the chance of arthritis which is completely bogus. Extensive research has proved that the opposite is true and even constant running will decrease the risk of osteoarthritis and joint degeneration. Stimulation to the joint helps to keep it healthy; it helps to make the cartilage strong and all the connective tissues strong. So being active is not something that is going to cause damage in the future.  It's important to understand that when you have knee pain there are two important pieces of it; one is internal joint discomfort and damage,  and two external knee pain which is more commonly seen which refers to the muscles and connective tissues and the outside of the joint.

Ski races may be unpredictable, but there’s comfort in the predictability of the annual cycle. The season ends. Athletes retire. National governing bodies name their armies for the coming season. Summer camps begin and injured athletes make their returns to competition. We’re still in the retirement and team naming phase, and on this week’s episode of The Inside Line, Gabbi takes you through the latest headlines before sharing an interview with this week’s guest from Slovenia. Remember Ilka Stuhec? She dominated in speed during the 2016-17 World Cup season, took home two discipline globes and won over hearts around the world. Then, in October, the Slovenian superstar crashed and tore the ACL in her left leg—a rough blow heading into the Olympic season. However, Stuhec is no stranger to the recovery process, and has taken the challenge in stride. We know she's an awesome speed skier but did you know she could also dance?!
