'Exercise-related injury'
Why does my knee click when I run?

It then made a “clicking” sound as I walked home. What have I done and how can I make it better?...

Since then, the pain returns whenever I try to run. Could I have shin splints? If so, how long will it take to heal and how will I maintain my fitness levels in the meantime?...
