knees hurt when squating

adalos Posts: 174 Joined: 2006/02/04	2006/12/17, 03:37 PM i seem to be having some knee issues. it's not just squating, but even running a short distance will often make my knee(s) hurt. it's not excruciating, but it's definitely uncomfortable. it's always the top of my knee(s) towards the inside of my legs. squating often makes it aggrivated, even if it's just me doing warm up squats with no weight. any ideas? should i get something like that checked or is it just joint pain from innactivity? like i said, it's bearable, but noticeable. any i don't necessarily have to be lifting weights to get it going, but then sometimes i can go for weeks with nothing at all as far as discomfort. maybe it's just a weak muscle/tendon?

If you know something is a source of a pain it makes no sense to continues that exercise. Think longevity and how your in it for the long hall because sitting on the couch because you pushed something thats been telling you to stop too far can sit your ass on a couch for months if not longer!
