Knee pain: This may be an overuse sprain or tendonitis of the knee. Treatment is rest, applications of cold alternating with heat and taking anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen. You could also rub in liniment like Bengay. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an orthopedic specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
