Under your knee cap as below where the tendon is or as under the knee cap as in inside the joint?

I think its below the kneecap towards the inside of each leg.

Could you point it out on a pic? I would think it is tendinitis but I think you may want to go to a physio an get a diagnosis.

If you have pain which lasts, and/or which restricts movement, see a sports physiotherapist.

I don't feel the pain most of the time, and i have no restriction of movement. its usually only felt occasionally if ive been on my feet for hours at work.. mainly when i walk around a corner. When it first occured i could barely walk in a straight line for the first week though.

If it was tendinitis you would have pain when you run and jump, squat it is usually pretty easy to self diagnose. It is usually not debilitating just uncomfortable. From your description i would not think it is tendinitis which would be the best of a bad situation. I would really go to a physio as you could have a medial meniscus problem or ligament issues. I would say meniscus problem but only minor damage but either way it is something that will just get worse if you do not check it out properly.

Thanks for your reply. Well i dont feel any pain when i jump and i dont usually feel pain if i run, every now and then it might feel a bit uncomfortable for a step. My knees click when i squat down on them past parallel without any weight, but i have always had that problem. I'll see a physio, now im stressed out as im going snowboarding on the 6th of july in NZ. Hope i dont need surgery..

God get it checked out by then as snow sports (sking mainly) are terrible for your knees.

if your form is ok, what you describing doesn't mean that there is definitely something wrong or anything more than soreness. most of my joints click and crack - not because of injury they just always have, even as a kid. my knees go when i turn around a corner, squat and sometimes feel stiff and getting them to click frees them up. I mentioned it to the physio for peace of mind, had it checked and was told they were fine. Yours probably are too but the others are right you should get them checked.

Went to the doctor he got an x-ray done and they said that there weren't any signs of soft tissue damage.. told me to take nurofen and get knee strap/support things.

I got sportstek PTM knee sleeve's from sportstek oakleigh for my snowboarding trip... hoping they will give enough support and ill just have to take it easy.

any tips on ways to speed up recovery? i think its too late to see a physio so ill see one when i get back from NZ..

I've never had an injury that didn't just repair itself fairly quickly before, so didn't even consider going to a physio.
