Knee issues....

[superqt4u2nv]

ok my last couple of sqaut sessions my knees are clicking like there is no tomorrow. I have had some serious pain as of late even going light. I think it could be the increased cardio. Anyways I need some advice what is going to be something that is low impact but still hit the quads decently.

No advice for ya. I feel for ya. I've been having crunching almost stiff knee issues in my left knee since I've started squating. No matter heavy or light. The bicycle almost killed me today. I hope someone comes along with a decent suggestion for ya.

I threw my left knee out in a spinning class...

Is the pain above, to the side or below or behind the kneecap?? Is the cartilege behind the kneecap crunching?? Or is it the muscles alongside the knee that hurt??

bones are rubbing together in the joint on top the knee

If he told you to stop squating he can kiss my ass I am going to lay of them for a bit but stop completley ummm never.

Nooooo, he didn't tell me that.... LOL...... did some xrays & whatever I did that made it hurt, I didn't do.... Since my problem was that my kneecap wasn't tracking properly, I wore a type of velcro band around me knee that prevented my kneecap from moving improperly.... You could try that & see if it helps....they're pretty inexpensive...

What kind of cardio are you doing? If it involves running.... If you don't have the right shoe and are running on a hard aggregate surface then you could be ruining your knees. Are you taking and joint support formuls? If not I would suggest getting yourself some. Also the seated leg extension helps to strengthen your quad and the muscles around your knee to help it and support it.

Mostly eleptical also do some strip tease arobics but it is way low impact. I rarely run or jog when I do mad shin splints and knee pain.
