A member asked:

After 5 mile run my knee gave out pain was excruciating. pain is unbearable to put weight on it. pain is in a u shape under kneecap. what should i d0?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. You may take acetaminophen for pain, no more than 4 g/day, no alcohol. Wish you good health!
