I'm not ready to enlist for possible phantom pain, but thanks anyway.

I assume your pain stops when you stop running.

Go to a qualified person to analyse your running form and find out what you are doing wrong.

No, the pain dissipates but is still present while walking. It affects my base level of activity including walking, hiking and cross training. That said, running undoubtedly aggravates the pain and sets off a several day long inflammatory cycle. There's minimal swelling but heightened tenderness especially with deep bends, squats etc. I'm thinking runners knee but my knee cap seems to be tracking properly. I do have very tight calves, quads and have suffered through Achilles tendonitis for close to a year

How old are you? sounds like TMB.

Define the TMB acronym please?

Have you gone to a Physical Therapist at all? I had developed knee pain that kept me from running for a long time until I finally went to a doctor and finally stuck with a round of PT. I can run pain free now for as long as I wish (before I had to stop at about a mile in because of pain) I think if you get a good PT who deals with runners that might be your best bet. And yes, tight calves and quads can contribute to knee pain. I would foam roll if I were you. Weak ankles can cause knee pain too though, as can tight/weak hips/glutes/hamstrings. Hopefully this information helps!

Too Many Birthdays

You have a bucket handle tear to which you are extremely sensitive.

Stop doing squats and stupid exercises such as this .

Be stubborn and end up with a scope.

Be smart and strengthen your vastis medialis ans cycle at high rpm 90+ .

You are a needy man .

This. Any muscle imbalances around the knee (including the hip and ankle) can contribute. See a PT if u haven't yet.

Double nice!

Original poster dude should have a careful evaluation of strength in the main muscles of both legs. He will almost certainly find some material weakness in some or all of the main muscles in the knee pain leg, and, likely patella tracking problems.

Step 1. Stop f*#cking running for at least 3 weeks.

Step 2. Start a strength program to rebalance leg strength.

Step 3. Start a very slow, very very gradual program of rebuilding your running.

Otherwise, just wait and it will heal if you stop over-using it.

Extremely poor advice so far.

The only thing that has been accurate so far is that the vastus medialis is the muscle that is pulling on the knee. It's more than likely that you have hip and back issues that are causing the vastus medialis to tighten up.

My suggestion would be to see a good massage therapist to work on you.

I had went about 3 years without an injury but overdid some heavy lifting and a hard trail run and my vm went into spasms where I couldn't straighten my leg in the morning. I ran easy a few days and went to my massage therapist and the pain was gone in a week.

The worst thing you can do when injured is quit running.

Just an easy 2 mile jog will help recovery. Also absolutely do not EVER EVER do strengthening exercises when injured. Most likely a running injury I$ from a muscle being overworked, not from one that is weak. When the muscle has repaired the damage, it will be plenty strong enough.
