Knee Pain!!!!

[AirWolf]

I recently started playing basketball again after several years off and at some point last week I seem to have messed up my knee. There wasn't an incident that I can remember off-hand...so I'm pretty sure I didn't pop or tear anything (but you never know)

It hurts on the front part of the knee, just south of the kneecap. When I tried to do squats it was fine on the way down, but hurt a ton when I was pushing up. I can walk fine...but stairs and running hurt a bit.

Any ideas? Think I can lift thru it and play ball thru the pain (thinking its just some deep bruise) Or do I need to leave it alone for a bit?

haha, happened to me too on wednesday (still sore). I have tendonitis in my knees and that's all it is. It's enflamed, grab the ibuprofen and call it good.

ugh...thats almost exactly what I didn't want to hear. I used to have huge problems with tendonitis in my knees and elbows when I was younger, but it seemed to clear up.

Any steps to help make it go away? I remember taking advil until I had a hole in my stomach when I was playing HS baseball and I'd rather not do that again.
