Just had a physical and mentioned to my dr that I'm having knee pain mostly when I come down steps. She's concerned. She knows i exercise and lift and as soon as I told her she asked, "Do you do squats?" She thinks that they are bad for my knees as well as stepping up on a high step. at the same time recognizes that squats are muscle builders. She was perplexed as to what I could substitute, beig that if I stop, my quads won't be as strong, thus affecting my knee, too. Anyway, she recommended fewer squats, every other day, ibuprofen. So yesterday I did the squats in GSLegs but with a lower wei ght. Today my knee hurts
Anyway, I don't go more than 40 lbs on my squats. Should I do leg raises on a lower step (mine is 14"), lower my weights on squats???
I know this is long, but all help is appreciated!
