  | Knee pain I hurt my knee playing football a few weeks ago and I can't seem to get rid of it. It didn't hurt me for about 4 or 5 days so i figured it had gone and went ahead with squats. Soon as i had finished the squats i bent down to pick up my phone and felt a sharp pain in my knee. Getting it more regularly now just from bending down with my own bodyweight. Any ideas what it is or how long i should rest for? Whats the best cardio i can do which won't put too much strain on my knee? bike, xtrainer, walking, rowing? I've decided not to do deads or squats and just work my arms but keep the cardio and see if the pain goes. Are there any leg workouts i could do which wouldnt put too much strain on the old knee? Had to write fast as i'm late but thats for help! |

 | Re: Knee pain It sounds as though it may be internally bruised, although I'm really no expert. I'd rest from cardio, squats, deads or any direct leg work & train your upper body for now. You can still train back, just leave deads for now. Have you tried any anti-inflam's? If not, I'd be inclined to get some down ya'. It might also be worth paying a visit to your GP so they can physically/manually check your knee by performing some simple physiotherapy tests.

| Re: Knee pain Ligament/tendon damage? Apply RICE,if no improvement after 7 days see a physio. Swimming for cardio.

The worst CV would be running and Xtrainer. Light cycling and swimming! Very light squats if you have to but they shouldn't be a problem as there is no real impact!! Avoid football for a week + Just my opinion. | |
