Its never happened before, it just started happening recently. I don't even run a mile or anything its just during gym, which is 40 minutes, and all i do is play basketball and the pain stays for like 2 hours. Today it happened when i was playing soccer outside, in 5 minutes it started hurting. Im 14 yrs old by the way. What should i do?

You are pounding on your knee so hard that it is inflamed. Try exercising on a surface with more "cushion" such as a wooden floor instead of concrete. If that does not work, try a different shoe - softer and better inner soles. The shoe should also be flexible. You may be surprised that the best shoe may not be the most expensive.

Running is not really a good exercise. If you are already getting knee pain at 14, i would be cautious. Make sure you stretch your legs out VERY well, there are muscles that attach via tendons to your knee. Also, I don't know if a 14 y/o can take vitamin supplements, but ask your doctor if you can have glucosomine.

Just rest a bit. Stop running and jog instead. This is probably a temporary things. You probably sprained or pulled a string on ur leg muscles.

Build strength in knees, get you a set of weights and lift them on your ankles.
Get some magnets off fridge and put on knees for pain.
(wrap em with a sock if ya have to)
Ice is good for pain, and calcium builds strong bones.

Well, you may have built up fluid in your kneecap.But your young. My dad had it when i was younger and he got surgry on it. and that was like 10 years ago and the pain recently came back. so that may be the problem.

try running on your feet, running on knees is sure to hurt them!
