Runners Knee

Every now & then when I finish running I have extreme pain in both knees directly after running.  Symptoms appear to be best described as runners knee.  I cannot figure out a variable for the cause.  I strech well before & after & walk a bit on both ends to cool down.  The pain is equal & feels like it is under the knee cap.  The pain is very sharp & may last for 20min after & then I am fine.  No lingering side effects or performance problems & my knees don't hurt during running, just right after, and not every time & distance does not matter either.  Help!  ???????????????????

    I have had phases of training when I have lt that, but I don't think mine has been nearly as severe as you are reporting. I have wondered what is causing that as well.

    Check out the two posts at this link for some ideas on what can cause it and how to start working on it at home:

    That being said... if this starts to get worse (symptoms start appearing more frequently or last longer), worth getting checked out by a PT. They can help you loosen up the knee and help figure out what specifically is causing it to get cranky. image
