Remembering to wear knee sleeves to keep the joint warm?

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.

try cissus with vitamin C....if it's a ligament issue it may help...

hows your form on squats?

applying heat to the area may help, alternating heat/cold may help, cryo therapy can help....ibuprofen can ease the inflammation...

same problem, if not, then similar.

i'm seeing an ortho tuesday. if he can't do anything useful, i'm seeing a specialist who does ART soon after.

The solution is obvious. Stop running so much.

This is probably completely useless for you since you've got plenty of experience but where is your knee while you are squatting? Is it coming past your toes at all? A lot of people I've worked with have complained of knee pain due to their knee pushing too far forward.

Probably doesn't apply to you, but double check it next time you are squatting.
