[quote=Anonymous]I have had trouble with one knee for three years. Intermittent pain and swelling brought on by running light miles. I have been to physical therapy twice in this time. Been X-rayed twice. Joint structure is very good. Both Dr and PT didn't think it was necessary to take it further with an MRI--as in, they don't think it's a tear, but a strength and alignment issue. Just keep strengthening glutes and legs etc and support it with a brace as necessary. Usually doing a lower body strength routine is what can set off pain for me because lunges (esp) and squats are irritating. I have laid off running but switched to a bit of incline treadmill to work on said strength. I get swelling under my kneecap from 30 minutes of this. I'm not in pain at all so I'm just going to ice and take Advil. At the same time, it feels counterintuitive to keep doing this with swelling. Do people just put up with the swelling and keep going? I'm 54. Maybe this is what happens now! [/quote]
