i have just been doing netball trials last 2 days, and my knee is really sore when i run now and sometimes walk (kind of below the knee cap and a bit around the sides), which sucks because i didn't do well at the trials. I play tennis and go walking and play other sports too, and ive just started doing more exercise latley, and im 14.
do you know what it is and what i can do about it?
i still want to play sport!
o and my mum doesnt want to take me to the doctors but im not sure.. becuase the doctor could just think its something stupid and minor!
i dont know! please help.

i have a disease in my leg exactly the are you described. its called asgood schlatters. you might have it, or you might not. if there is a big bump right where it hurts, you probably have it. its nothing to worry about. i still do tons of sports, it only effects my ability a little. all you have to do is ice your leg before and after sports. or just once a day for about 15 minutes. you should go to the doctor. it is a stupid and minor disease, but you still need to get diagnosed for it, because the doctor will give you more info.

Put a magnet off the fridge on your knee.
Do some ankle lifts to improve knee strength
