Anyone know much about knees......
Had to pull out of track session as was getting a dull pain in left knee, that worsened quickly. Can walk just about OK but left knee keeps buckling. Very painful to go up and down stairs......
The pain is just below the knee cap (very top of Shin, but very deep (ie cant prod and find pain, but move in a certain way and I know it)....
Any Ideas? Will try and book to see the doc in the morning but wanted to know if anyone has suffered with similar.....
Any help appriciated...

He says I have tendonitious (just below Knee / knee cap. Told complete rest from exercise for 2 weeks, brufen and a tubigrip (how bliddy typical)..........
Physio booked up through Doc for next Weds.
Signing off from one p*****d off RFJ.
From what I've gleaned, and through some personal experience, anti-inflammatories and knee support won't help at all, but gentle stretching and keeping mobile will. Rest up completely for now, then listen to your physio and don't go further than he/she tells you.
It is generally very curable though. Good luck with it.
As you say wait until I see the Physio.....
Thanks again (will need some help on the patience side... off to the garage to find boxing bag and weights.....)
So now have to get a program sorted out, that also includes the quad strenghening exercises that I have been given.
So a bit better than what the doc told me on Fri.
I can cycle but have to take it easy.... in that to and from work only, and in the gym, no off road ect.
Have you seen a physio... its important to get an assessment.
Take care
