I am starting to run again, at 50 years old, however, everytime I get started, my knee gives way at my patella tendon? It seems like a pop. I use the elliptical for 30 minutes - non stop and do not have this problem. I have to stop because of the pain and usually fall when it happens. I really miss running. Does anyone have a clue what is going on?
