A member asked:

Why might it be that my knee cap and sometimes ankle hurts after basketball/long distance run?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's all connected: The knee cap function is affected by the foot and ankle position. Since you seem to have symptoms directly related to your activity level, i would suggest an examination by a sports medicine specialist; orthopedic or podiatric. Good luck.
