Hi Vonnie,
Are you a Gym freak?
Well I am sorry to say that any exercise which involves you standing upright, knee, hips and your ankle takes lot of strain to keep you going as compared to any other part of your body.
If you have any knee pathology and do any exercise, it would affect your knee.
I think you should be seeing an orthopaedician, do imaging studies, and rule out any pathology before joining gym again.
As otherwise the condition is going to worsen, if we ignore.
Hope this helps you.
Keep me informed.
Bye.
I did excessive cardio last month and now my knee has started paining a lot with some ankle pain also. doctor has advised me to take pain killers which arent effective at all. Please advise me what injury can it be.
