Question 1

the front of my right knee does not feel as good ad my left knee from running. it's been a year since i ran. what should i do.

Accepted Answer

Check it out: I would suggest that you get your knee checked ot either at a sports medicine clinic or by a physiatrist/physical medicine doctor--they specialize in the softer parts of the skeleton, the insides of joints, the tendons and ligaments, etc..  There may be something wrong inside your knee  if it  hasn't  resolved after a year, it is unlikely to resolve in another year.  Don't put it off any longer.

Question 7

hi i am not sure why, but whenever i'm running or on an elliptical i sometimes feel like my knee is going to pop out something, but it doesn't hurt.

Hmm: Sound like a patella problem. Possibly patella- femoral syndrome where the patella wants to track out the groove on thigh bone . i recommend you see a doctor to get it check out.

Question 8

is running bad for your knees?

Accepted Answer

Depends: A good running stride is key. That being said the elliptical is lessthan impact for sure. I think it is hard to get into any good shape on machines..Run a 6 min mile on the road and tell me your heart rate is the same as the treadmill...As an example.
