Lately i have been feeling pain in what seems like behind my knee cap. Usually it occurs after i play softball. some times it hurts horribly and others its fine. Should i go to the doctors or just buy a knee brace? Or what should i do?

I am a certified personal trainer and a certified advanced personal trainer and when I first started out I would just diagnose problems my clients had but now, your best bet is to go to the doc. If you dont have adequate insurance then maybe you can resort to a knee band. I do not suggest knee braces to any clients because knee bands actually support and work better. But go to the doctor if at all possible.

Maybe she hurt her knee while playing or something. I hurt my knee once as was running in the house and then turn too quickly. So i think you should keep an eye on the knee and if it carries on hurting after a while i think she should see a doctor.

Yes I would see a Doc as behind the knee cap is the 'joint' and you really do not want to end up with Arthritis. I have it and its no fun.
