Reply With QuotePersonally, i would rather go to the doctor and see what was wrong with my knee, instead of it getting so damaged that i would hurt my body to a point where i couldn't even walk. If you get it checked out, chances are, you can get back to working out properly without feeling pain. the chiropractor is good for joints, check one out. i go to him regularly because my scrum is always tilted backwards and causing me pain. after a session with him, voila. i miss maybe 1 day at the gym and then I'm back at it. make the knee issue short term instead of long term, catch my drift?

Residual Pain in one knee - Advice?
Hi everyone, well for like 2 years now I've had some minor pain off and on in my right knee. It will sometimes be sore if I sit too long in one position and can't stretch the leg out. Also will sometimes give me problems on stairs. I haven't gone to the doctor, because I don't want to hear "stop working out".
For legs I do smith squats, leg extensions, ham curls, various calf raises, leg presses. Squats and presses I usually point the toes just a little out to work the inside quads.
I've resigned myself to living with it. Right now it's a bad spell, which made me post to see if anyone else has this? Or if anyone else has knee tips in general?
Definitely can't stop squatting. And I had the pain when I squatted free too, before using the smith rack.
I've read not to let your knees pass your feet on squats. I don't really know if I do or not. Could this be a problem?
Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ah crap. Going to the doctor is such a PAIN
I don't want to get hooked up with chiro cause of the cliche stereotypes. Seems they give you short term fixes.
Well, I just might take your advice. Now just have to make the time.
