Mine started the other day and I decided just to push through it now it's worse....
Here's the vid I was talking about. This may not be your problem at all but I've read about others here stretching their IT band.
How to fix knee pain - YouTube
When you are squatting I believe the cue you need to use is to make sure your knee is travelling in the same way your foot is pointing - so the knee cap tracks properly. I assume you are doing this. If not, this could be the cause of your issues.
Keep in mind I'm a beginner like you, especially as far as squatting goes.
Yeah just keep in mind this is just what I'm trying. I'm no expert.
I'm taking stabs in the dark, trying to find something that works for me.
You guys are effin awesome!!! I like all those replies, even Bazzas cause im all for "suck it up princess and stop moaning' hahahahah
In all seriousness, thank you all. I am constantly surprised at how helpful everyone is here because generally people on forums just want to be c**ts. LOL
I'll let people know how I go with all the different remedies, cheers guys, thanks again!
I have a lot of knee pain at the moment, only in the left knee, definitely from squatting.
I saw a vid on youtube which suggested a tight IT band is a common cause so I've started stretching that with a foam roller. It is a very painful stretch! So far no reduction in knee pain though.
It reads to me like you are doing something wrong.
Ask your new trainer to video you (front and side) and post it here, we'll sort it out.
How painful?
Sounds like you have identified the underlying issue???
What are your quads hammies and calves like on a foam roller???
Might be a form issue with me as well... At the gym they have me doing true ATG olympic squats. Seems to pressure the knee more. But the trainer said my form was fine.
I'll try rolling out the calves hammies and quads too.. Fckn thing still hurts.
