I take anti inflamatories if my knee pain gets too bad. My ortho explained that there is soft tissue under the knee cap that can become enflamed and create pain in the knee. I get it when I run too much and continue lifting heavy loads.
It has been difficult to control if I am squatting heavy consistently. The only way to manage it is to be on top of how my body feels, use ice after running or squatting heavy, and take medicine when needed to minimize the inflamation.
