My right knee hurts, Everytime I'm done running , after a while one of my knees hurt and I will have pain for like 2 days. When I bend my legs, my knees do not hurt but when I unbend them they do. It's like pain in the joints. Its not very painful but it kinda bothers me.
Whats going on? I'm 16 so i dunno if age has something to do with it lol

is there swelling? is there any physical resistance when you extend your leg along with the pain? press the area connecting your upper and lower legs bones. the cartilage there is called the meniscus. is that wear it hurts? meniscus tears or partial tears do not have to be real painful. meniscus tears can cause a piece to break off and get stuck in your joint. its not uncommon among athletes, especially runners. might want to get that one checked out.

The pain is most likely due to either a tracking disorder of the patella causing an irritation of the patella-femoral joint. Another possibility is a patellar tendonopathy but his is more likely a sharp pain that you would feel during exercise. Try seeing a sport injury chiropractor or physiotherapist, they will be able to examine the knee too see what is wrong with and provide effective treatment.

I have this problem too. Have you had a bad history with your knees or any previous injuries?? It sounds like your knee gave way on you. It could be a knee cap dislocation or even an ACL tear if you have severe pain. If it makes you feel any better, I have a completely torn ACL on my left knee and I just dislocated my right knee cap yesterday. That's what I get for playing so many sports. haha. Maybe you are in the same situation....

Age is on your side. If it hurts after a run you may need to rest for a day or two. You didn't mention that you had been stretching. A runner will have long term success with a stretching program. Many student athlete simply need rest. Rest up and see your high school coach for stretches. You are better off than you think. Keep up your good efforts.

There could be a number of reasons for this. You should see a neurologist, he can the give you an author scope reading. They put you to sleep and put in a needle with a camera on it, see what's going on inside the knee. They have a fist hand look. I you agree they can also fix the problem while in there. It take about forty-five minutes for this procedure. Four to six weeks healing.

Yes, clearly it is senility or age induced arthritis. LOL Maybe you should try changing your running shoes. Your knees could be suffering from the impact.

if you just recently, like in the past two years, have had a growth spurt or anythinh, then it could just be tendon issues, or they just my be loose or weak tendons, ask your doctor for knee strengthening exercises and after a few months your knees will be in the best condition that they have ever been in!
good luck!
