Pain in my knee...Is it a sign of a serious injury?......What could it be

[JD2001]

I was using the leg press on my 3rd set incereasing weight every set and I felt a bad pain in my left knee. So I immediately stopped and waited about 5 minutes and it was still there so I did not continue. Is it a sign of a serious injury. What can it be? It cant be tendonitis because I only train legs once a week and it is the first time I felt it. There is alot of pain when I bend my knee to sit down or try any leg excercises. Will it go away? What can it be?

If it's on the tendon right below your kneecap then you are in shit! Be careful!

If it's on the upper kneecap (lower quad), then it will be fine with some rest.

Everything else depends on severity.

I get a little pain every now and then in my knees when training legs heavy. It always goes away in a day or two. Since I started using knee wraps on my heaviest sets I don't seem to be getting any more pain.
