Pain Below the Knee

[GrandeDavid]

Does anyone know what it may be or anyone had it before? Its been going on for about six weeks or so. Its not my knee, its below my knee. I can walk and run, but it at times it hurts bad. It hurts the most when I straigten it and kick. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I just had an MRI done on my left knee at my orthopedic surgeon friend's urging. I am a marathoner, mountain biker, tennis player, weight lifter, swimmer, ballplayer, hence I'm very active.

I had soreness just below my knee which occured while training in LA in late May for a marathon. The pain has lingered up until now. We discovered it is tendonitis, which I knew all along. But, thankfully, it was not in a degenerative stage. So I'm taking some light anti-inflammatories, doing lots of swimming and laying off contact sports and running for another week.

Its also called "jumper's knee", common among basketball players.

I bet you also have some sort of swelling just below the bottom edge of your patella. It generally occurs from overuse, especially if you are over 30.

See a doc. If you wanna wait, ice it after more rigorous use and avoid leg extensions and running.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I did a lot of stretching last night and this morning. It feels pretty good today.
