Case Summary  |  My knee pain


Condition Knee Pain
Case Description

My knees have always had a tendency to pop and be tender. However, when I started running this grew much worse. As time went on and I began to get older I realized my metabolism wasn't as great as it once was. From the point that I started running I began to experience shooting pains in my left knee. I continued to run for awhile but had to stop due to the pain that was being caused. I now walk, however the pain is still there. It has gotten better but occasionally I still experience pain. I do a mixture of stretching exercises and heat compress's. This typically alleviates the pain, however it just comes back again shortly after walking. I am still in the process of trying to find out how to cure the pain all together, however, for now my treatments are working to the best of their ability.

Many different stretching exercises provided to me by my doctor.
