Only if they are done improperly. When done properly, they can strengthen the knee. Press through the heels.

Yes, I rolled my knee once doing lunges and the doctor told me not to do them anymore.

yes if you allow your knee to go past your toe as you squat or lunge...do these exercises in front of a mirror so you can watch your form.
