Hi,

I know exactly the area you're describing. I was thinking my pain was due to bad form or over training and after a long time - almost 2 years later I finally had it checked out. Turned out that my knee was very arthritic and all the cartiledge was torn. Suffice it to say that two weeks ago I had it taken cared of and had arthroscopic surgery. Happy to report that my muscles are regaining their strength with physical therapy and in about a month or so I can return - slowly - to my workouts. Have your knee looked at by an orthopedic doctor, have some tests done before you do more serious damage and please let us know how you're doing. Hope this helps.

Take care,

Iris
