Squats knee pain: Pain from squats. Rule out arthritic changes of knees, form, and the relationship of the knee/hip/ankle. Consider temporarily stopping activities that are causing you discomfort. If you don’t want to stop all physical activity, consider cross-training that isn’t as tough on the joint. Consider other exercise:swimming aqua aerobics aqua jogging cycling. See your doc for an evaluation-
