Question 6

pain on the inside of right knee after running?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: I have been a runner for years and knee pain can be brought on by numerous triggers- shoes need to be changed more often, stretching- too much or not enough, hereditary issues, under or over training, etc.  If it continues, do not keep trying to run through it.  See a dr. Who works with athletes- you may need some physical therapy,  rest, or some other options.

Question 7

what could cause pain above my knee cap after running?

Accepted Answer

Tendinitis.: Quuadricep tendinitis is very common in that area. Usually responds to anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy.

Question 8

what to do if i have pain above knee cap after running?

Accepted Answer

Quad tendinitis: The quadriceps muscle inserts via a thick tendon onto the top of the kneecap (patella). Quadriceps tendinitis (painful inflammation or intrinsic injury) can occur in the tendon with trauma or an overuse injury. Nonoperative management usually works: rest, ice, NSAIDs, stretching (heel toward buttocks), and potentially formal physical therapy can all help.

Question 9

how do i deal with knee pain after running long distance?

Accepted Answer

Workout safely: You can apply ice over the knee, do a little bit of compression with an elastic bandage and apply cold compress over the site of pain. If this occurs after strenuous exercise this might be normal, if this condition happens all the time it is important to attend with a physician to discard any other problem like osteoarthritis (though you are young for this condition). Workout safely. :)

Question 10

is it normal for me to be having pain above knee cap after running?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Pain above the knee cap could represent quadriceps injury/inflammation, or pain in the patellofemoral joint (behind the knee cap), or inflammation of the joint.  If your symptoms are severe or persistent i would recommend seeing a physician.
