when i run i have a pain in the lower part of my knee. how do I get rid of the pain?

Answer 1

I had some knee problems when training for a marathon and I was recommended a cho pat dual action knee strap. This keeps you knee/tendons moving through the correct line and greatly reduced the pain and inflammation. It works so much better than any other knee support or compression bandages which I tried as they generally put pressure on the knee cap, which does not help at all. I still use it today if I start to feel a twinge.

It is well worth seeing a physio/doctor as well.

I have included a link so that you can see what it is like.

Answer 2

better running shoes, padded running socks, knee brace, etc.

I do inline speed skating and last year had a bad crash. In way I blew my knee out. I got one of those thick elastic knee guards from a sporting store and it helped greatly.

Wore it while skating and it helped take some of the pressure off my knee and would transfer it to my shin instead.

Might want to see a Dr. as well to make sure you don't have knee issues, socket issues, bone spur, etc.

Answer 3

If you are experiencing knee pain, is it tendons or is it more in the shin ?

Shin pain is common among novice runners. Make sure you stretch your calves really well and wear good running shoes.

If you are experiencing tendon pain, you have to figure out which tendon it is and take appropriate stretching exercises. Also, wearing good shoes that absorb the impact will be useful anyways.

Answer 4

i had the same problem when i was training for my sport i would have this pain under my knee cap and have a bump stick out. if you have theese symptoms its called somthing like osgood slaughters its when you grow too fast when your younger and the calcium builds up in a place and your tendon doesnt stretch enough with it. try using a knee brace that covers your whole knee with a hole for your kneecap to stick out of thoose small bands only make it hurt more plus it makes the back of your leg itch.

Answer 5

An Orthopedist need to do an MRI study and/or x rays to determine if their are any tears to your knee ligaments or cartalige. If that is the cause of your pain then arthroscopic knee surgery may be required to repair the tear.

Answer 6

just rest for awhile. put some ice on it.
you could take a tylenol or something before you run.
also get a knee brace. a stretchy one so you can still run with it.
make sure before and after you run you stretch really well.
Rest well when your done running!
hope this helps!

Answer 7

i would check a doctor out....it could possibly be Osgood-Schlatter disease which is basically when your muscle grows faster then your bone causing you to have this bump under your kneecap that can be painful...it literally looks like a second kneecap almost....i had it, it lasted about 2 years for me, it slowly goes away, to this day i still have the bump, but it doesnt have any pain at all...check for it first though, then ask what to do if it is the case that you have it

Answer 8

Just keep running. Your body will eventually adapt to the stress being put on it. I usually get this after taking time off. I just run through it.

Answer 9

You probably have fluid in there, from your bone and cartilage creating friction. It happened to me and I waited to see the doctor which was stupid and then I had to get it drained. It wasn't fun. See your doctor.

good luck
