I've been haven this shooten pain in my left leg below my kneecap on the outterside.its a sharp short burning sensation when I bend it sometimes but its dailey.I take elasti joint by labrada for it and my left wrist(broke it a few years back so it acts up sometimes) and it helps my wrist a lot as well as my knees but not that one spot.it didn't start happenen till I got my job doen stock n a store(constantly liften and getten up and down on my knees)cpuld that play a role?I'm thinken if it continues ill go to a sports doc,but I dnt wanna be told I can't lift during this summer.
Any advice or info?

Shooting pain on the outside of the knee maybe any number of things. it could be tendinitis, bursitis, a tear in the cartilage, inflammation due to rubbing, etc. since you're doing alot more heavy lifting and work, increased usage can also cause inflammation and irritation. try the R.I.C.E. remedy first. (thats Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and take some aspririn or tylenol. if the pain persists, go see a doc. it's best to make sure it's not something serious that will limit your activities. usually the doc will assign you to do some physical therapy. best of luck to you.

Sounds like your patellar tendion to me. Do yourself a favor before you further insult your injury and go to Doc for mri and take Weedgit's RICE advice.

Bump. I would take several days off from working out also to be safe and let everything recover.

 

[Beethov]

Hmm...I will try R.I.C.E 'lol"
As for time off of worken out I can't even if I wanted to I work 6 days a week and that's a workout in its self...if itd help I could skip leg workout for a week and do no cardio for the week or one light 20min session of cardio.the pain is not continuious,it comes and goes RANDOMLY when I bend my knee satys for no more than 4 seconds man then is gone.it can happen a few times in a row ehn I bend that knee or can stop for hours.its very random.
I'm hopen that last piece of info helps.but thankyou for the info.if it does get worse I'm goen to the doc.

I'd take some glucosamine, chrontroton, msm and fish oil. That should help with your joints. My knee used to do that and all that I listed has helped alot and now I don't have anymore pain.

 

[Beethov]

My girl thought it was a beas "lol" my joint support has glucosamine in it(I think 1500mg...not sure)I also take 1200mg fish oil 3 times a day.idk what msm and the other one listed are.I took off leg day this week,and have limited cardio,it dsnt hurt when I run though.I've notived when I sit and stretch I'm not as flexable anymore in the knees(both)I can't bring em inwards as much anymore.I'm goen to take yalls advice any anything that will help and also goen to schedule a appointment at a sport physician place for this tuesday(hopefully)to make sure all is well.

 

[Raffy]

I would advise not to run right now bro because you are pounding your knee joint every time you land on each foot. I would walk, swim, cycle or something other than running. That's a good dosage of fish oil. Take it easy on your legs and in time they will heal.

 

[Beethov]

No cardio?yer killen me!lol
But ill take yer advice.
What is msm and the other thing u listed?

 

[Raffy]

Chrondroiton. I'm not sure if I spelled that right but take that or msm with it. You don't need to take both though. There are alot of products out there that has a combination of glucosamina and chrontroiton and there are some with glucosamine and msm. Both work great

Thankyou.I'm gonna check into it when I go and pick up my multi v and some protien.
