Most knee pain is associated with the IT (Iliotibial) band. A piece of fascia that runs along side the outer part of the quad from hip to knee. This gets filled with tension and knots. If this is not rolled out, the tension becomes too much and begins to pull on the knee outward. So you can experience pain on the inside, outside and even at worst case (what feels like) under the knee cap. All this can be taken care of with foam rolling. Seriously foam rolling will save your knees and keep you doing all the things you love. Too many people just settle thinking consistent workouts killed their knees, when in fact is improper form and not foam rolling to align the muscles (in releasing tension) to enable proper form. i hope this helps!</p> Im a Fitness Specialist/Trainer Functional Movement Expert in NYC and knees are one of my specialties.

I have see 5 seperate doctors with no luck, and I am only 30. My knee hurts with down force and extension on the outer part of the knee above the knee cap, the leg will give out and I will hit the ground cursing, so I guess I feel your pain also.</p> I have had a very similar injury to my right knee, 3years ago, and have had two surgery to fix it, but each time the pain has come back, a can no longer use my bike or do any of the prior activity I did before.

So I've no cause to complain.</p> <p>Also the "consultation" wasn't taking place under anything approaching clinical conditions. And of course I stopped reporting the conversation at the most entertaining point. The good physio did go on to suggest a few practical things I could do, including checking my seat adjustment.</p> Well, in fairness, you gets what you pays for—and I was tugging on the ol’ family ties (not even stumping up for a cup of coffee).
