When I run, my right knee hurts. The pain isn't bad, but it is there. What can I do?

Question

Runners, help! I have been running for about 2 years now, longest distance is about 6 miles. But, I run fairly consistently. Recently, my right knee has started to hurt while I run (not after, not when I walk). Can I keep running, or do I need need need to stop for a long while? Can I run through it?

Answer 1

You should stop running its not good for you.

Answer 2

it could just be a form of tendonitits. before seeing a doctor try just a thin brace right below the kneecap or if you can find a leg press machine. both of these worked well for myself

Answer 3

dont continue with the pain get it checked out by a doctor.

Answer 4

See a Doctor ... get it checked before it is too late.

Answer 5

You should make sure that you are stretching your entire leg before running.

Answer 6

While seeing your doctor is probably the best answer, it may not always be practical.

1) Make sure your stretching thoroughly

2) Try a sports creme before you run

Good luck.
