knee

This has progressed over the past few days and now whenever I bend my right knee and put weight on it, it hurts. It feels like a tendon or something is being pulled or stretched very hard right under my kneecap. I am not sure how this injury came about. It's possible that it is from my lack of working out lately? This has come at a bad time too since I am planning on starting baseball workouts soon. Thanks for any tips, etc.

What helped me was to get a knee "brace" (i.e. cho pat or something similar). But the main thing is you need to rest it! Give it time to heal by not putting much weight on it. You'll be back running in no time!

A good idea is to see a Dr, just to make sure. Body builders often have probs with the ligaments (and joints!) if their muscles grow too fast. Just don't hurt yourself. Weight training is to strenghten not to weaken......

I take a supplement called Glucosomine. Works well. Beverly Nutrition has one caleed Joint Care. http://www.sportsupplementstore.com/ I went to see a Orthopedic Dr. and he gave me a few exercises.

Just try stretching out and warming up a little more before your workouts. Also put some ice on the effected area to ease more pain or swelling.
