I am thirteen and I've always been into sports. Track, lacrosse, tennis, you name it, but it's always been at different times. Now, I am doing all three at once and I thought I'd be perfectly fine, until my knee began to hurt. I don't know if I have runner's knee because I don't recall my knee "cracking" as is supposed to happen. But if I do have it, what do I do??? I absolutely adore sports and I am quite talented at them as well. If I stop I will be seriously depressed. It's like my life. I plan to be accepted to a good college due to my skills and become an athlete. It's been my dream since I was five. Will runner's knee seriously affect my life? Please respond.

You may be suffering from "over use" of the knee. It is much like runner's knee only less severe and without the cracking. I play the same sports and wonce had the same problem as you. Just try to stay off of it for a week or two and you should be feeling better in no time at all.
Good Luck!

I'm also a runner, but ya you really need to go to a doctor about that. You should probably go easy on your knee and get a knee brace.

will depend upon the runner. take a seem at getting custom made inserts on your shoes and determine you have properly large walking shoes. i used to have IT band issues and it did wonders for me. marvelous of sturdy fortune.

Get to the doctor as soon as you can. Only a professional can diagnose your injury. And don't wait. I waited on a shoulder injury and it ended up costing me a scholarship. Trust me. Go now!!!
